Abstract Reactivity of oxidative species with target pollutants is one of the crucial parameters for application of any system based on advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). This work presents new useful approach how to determine the hydroxyl radical reaction rate constants (kOH) using UVA laser flash photolysis technique. Fe(III) hydroxocomplex at pH 3 was applied as a standard source of hydroxyl radicals and methyl viologen dication (MV2+) was used as selective probe for •OH radical. Application of MV2+ allows to determine kOH values even for compounds which do not generate themselves optically detectable transient species in reaction with hydroxyl radicals. Validity of this approach was tested on a wide range of different persistent pesticides and its main advantages and drawbacks in comparison with existing steady-state and time-resolved techniques were discussed.

Enthalpies and entropies of activation have been derived from rate constants measured over a range of temperature for the dilute acid hydrolysis of N-methyl- acetamide, N-ethylacetamide, N-n-propylacetamide, N-isopropylacetamide, N-n-butylacetamide, N-s-butylacetamide, N-isobutylacetamide, N-isopentyl-acetamide, N-n-hexylacetamide, N-cyclohexylacetamide, and N-benzylacetamide. An analysis of the rate data in terms of several Taft-type linear free energy relationships indicates that the change in steric environment which a substituent experiences when it is moved from the acyl part to the alkyl part of an amide is quantitatively similar to the change in steric environment experienced by the same substituent in moving from the acyl to the alkyl portion of an ester. Evidence is also presented that the change in six-number makes the greatest contribution to the change in steric environment.
