Description

Radiolytic reduction of merocyanine 540 (MC) in acidic (0.02 mol x dm-3 in H2SO4) and neutral methanol solution was studied by pulse radiolysis. The spectra centered around 400 and 700 nm quite similar but they disappeared with different rates suggesting that different radicals (MCH and MC-) were responsible for these spectra. The rate constant of CH2OH reaction with Mc was found to be 7 x 108 mol-1 x dm3 x s-1. (author) 19 refs.; 2 figs
