Description

The values of initial quantum yield of nitrite under photolysis (253.7 nm) of crystalline RbNO3 and CsNO3 were calculated to be 0.006 and 0.016 quantum-1, respectively. Thermal annealing of UV-irradiated samples result in 3-fold decrease in the nitrite quantum yield for RbNO3 and its 1.5-fold increase for CsNO3. The mechanism for nitrite formation under photolysis of crystalline alkali nitrates has been discussed.
