The quantum yield of hydrogen peroxide photolysis has been measured as a function of the concentration of photocatalytically active Cu2+ ions, intensity of photolytic radiation, temperature, and hydrogen peroxide concentration. The results obtained are consistent with the concept that high quantum yields of hydrogen peroxide photolysis (Φ >> 1) are due to thermal decomposition of hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by photochemically generated copper ions in oxidation states which are catalytically active.

AbstractA broadband method has been applied to determine the quantum yields for the photochemical removal of three common pollutants: phenol, 4-chlorophenol and N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) in dilute aqueous solution. Flash photolysis (xenon flash lamps) was used to cause a significant amount of photolysis without photolyzing intermediates. The analysis of reactant depletion following a single flash was carried out by high- performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) or UV/visible absorption spectroscopy. The method for determining quantum-yields employed p-benzoquinone as an actinometer and was validated by determining the average (200-400 nm) quantum yield for the generation of hydroxyl radicals from the photolysis of hydrogen peroxide (0.90 ± 0.10) and the quantum yields for the photolysis of phenol (0.13 ± 0.02) and 4-chlorophenol (0.24 ± 0.04). The values determined agree very well with the literature ones obtained with monochromatic radiation. The quantum yield for the direct photolysis of NDMA was found to be 0.11 ± 0.03 at neutral pH and 0.27 ± 0.02 at pH 2-4. Under conditions where hydrogen peroxide is the principal absorber, the NDMA quantum yield is 0.32 ± 0.04, independent of pH in the range 2-8.

Acetone was photolyzed around 770 K by pulsed laser irradiation at 248 nm. The methyl radicals, generated in the primary step, trigger a chain reaction, producing ketene (CH2CO) and methane. Long chains (high quantum yields) result from low radical concentrations. Using a collimated laser beam of low intensity, quantum yields up to 300 have been demonstrated. Approximate rate constants have been derived and used for extrapolation to higher temperatures and different densities. Compared to the thermal process, the photochemical formation of ketene is faster. Therefore its thermal decomposition can be avoided to some extent. But the improvement is probably too small to be of technical interest. We also found indications that the thermal decomposition of acetone above about 500 to 600 K yields three fragments in a single step.

Quantum yields of hydrogen peroxide photolysis increase with the square root of concentration of added Cu(II). The cupric ions are photo-catalytically active already at trace concentrations (10-7), i.e., at the concentrations present in any real reaction system. Hydrogen peroxide photolysis is completely suppressed on addition of complexing agents such as EDTA. It is believed that no hydrogen peroxide photolysis would occur in complete absence of photo-catalytically active transition metal ions

The photochemical decomposition of hydrogen peroxide depends on the presence of transition metal ions in the reaction system. Photochemical reduction of the poorly catalytically active ions with higher oxidation states produces catalytically active ions of lower oxidation states which catalyze the thermal reaction. The quantum yield of hydrogen peroxide photolysis is proportional to the number of catalytic cycles occurring on the photochemically generated catalyst.

Ultrastable g-C3N4 assemblies consisting of amorphous/crystalline nanosheets with high quantum yields up to 78% were prepared for the first time. A reversible photoluminescence was observed from green to blue once the pH was adjusted. These assemblies exhibit high stability in PL devices.

The methoxy- and fluoro-derivatives of meta-nitrophenylacetic acid (mNPA) chromophores undergo photodecarboxylation with comparable quantum yields to unsubstituted mNPA, but uncage at red-shifted excitation wavelengths. This observation prompted us to investigate DPAdeCageOMe (2-[bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino]-2-(4-methoxy-3-nitrophenyl)acetic acid) and DPAdeCageF (2-[bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino]-2-(4-fluoro-3-nitrophenyl)acetic acid) as Zn2+ photocages. DPAdeCageOMe has a high quantum yield and exhibits other photophysical properties comparable to XDPAdeCage ({bis[(2-pyridyl)methyl]amino}(9-oxo-2-xanthenyl) acetic acid), the best perforiming Zn2+ photocage reported to date. Since the synthesis of DPAdeCageOMe is more straightforward than XDPACage, the new photocage will be a highly competitive tool for biological applications.
