Pulse radiolysis of aqueous solutions of nitric oxide at neutral pH shows that the reaction initiated by the hydrated electron, e−(aq), proceeds via NO− and a new transient thought to be (N2O2)−, and not HNO as indicated previously by steady state radiolysis.


Pulse radiolysis supplemented by steady state radiolysis of aqueous solutions containing some of the following solutes: N 2 O, Br - , BrO - , BrO - 2 , BrO - 3 , CO 2- 3 , and OH - has been used to identify the absorption spectra of BrO ( λ max = 350 nm) and BrO 2 ( λ max = 475 nm) and to evaluate the following rate constants (units, M -1 s -1 ): e - aq. + BrO - → Br - + O - (2.3 ± 0.5 x 10 10 ); e - aq. + BrO - 2 → BrO + O 2- (1.8 ± 0.2 x 10 10 ); e - aq. + BrO - 3 → BrO 2 + O 2- (4.1 ± 0.2 x 10 9 ); OH + BrO - → OH - + BrO (4.5 x 10 9 ); O - + BrO - → BrO + O 2- (4.6 x 10 9 ); OH + BrO - 2 → OH - + BrO 2 (1.9 x 10 9 ); Br - 2 + BrO - → BrO + 2Br - (8.0 ± 0.7 x 10 7 ); Br - 2 + BrO - 2 → BrO + Br - + BrO - (8.0 ± 0.8 x 10 7 ); BrO + BrO - 2 → BrO - + BrO 2 (3.4 ± 0.7 x 10 8 ); 2BrO 2 ⇌ Br 2 O 4 ( k = 1.4 x 10 9 and K = 19 M -1 ); Br 2 O 4 + OH - → H + + BrO - 2 + BrO - 3 (7 x 10 8 ); 2BrO + H 2 O → BrO - + BrO - 2 + 2H + (4.9 ± 1.0 x10 9 ); CO - 3 + BrO - → CO 2- 3 + BrO (4.3 ± 0.4 x 10 7 ); CO - 3 + BrO - 2 → CO 2- 3 + BrO 2 (1.1 ± 0.1 x 10 8 ). In contrast to their chlorine analogues, little is known of the chemistry of the bromine oxides in aqueous solution. In this paper we describe the methods of formation and identification of the radicals BrO and BrO 2 , and their reactions with various oxybromine species, as elucidated by the techniques of pulse radiolysis and kinetic spectroscopy applied to aqueous solutions containing oxybromine anions.

To study the reaction of the solvated electron with 5-bromouracil an aqueous solution has been examined by conductometric pulse radiolysis at pH values between 4.68 and 8.74. Alcohol was added to scavenge the hydrogen atom and the hydroxyl radical. G(Br—) = (2.64 ± 0.08)/100 eV was found to be independent of the pH. The mobility of the bromouracil mono-anion was measured to be (2.7 ± 0.2) 10-4 cm2 V-1 s-1 at 20°C, and the rate constant of reaction (3b) was determined to be k(H+ BrUr-) = (2.3 ± 0.2) 1010 I mole-1 s-1*.
