Description

Methyl radicals, generated by flash irradiations of Co(NH3)5OCOCH32+, were intercepted with Cu2+(aq) and Cu+(aq) ions. Metastable species, formed in these reactions, were assigned as CuCh32+ (lambda/sub max/ less than or equal to 350 nm) and CuCH3+ (lambda/sub max/370 nm). A transient, assigned also as CuCH3+, was observed in irradiations of CuOCOCH3+. Product yields were measured in order to confirm the nature of the transients. 1 table, 2 figures
