Abstract
Abstract— A flash photolysis investigation was made of the photo‐oxidation of aqueous aniline, resorcinol, βnaphthol, p‐sulfanilic acid, and p‐bromophenol induced by ultraviolet and visible light irradiation in the presence of eosin Y. The transient spectra show that u.v. irradiation generates the hydrated electron (except in p‐bromophenol) and the radical products of one‐electron oxidation. The initial products of the eosin‐sensitized oxidations are the dye semi‐quinone and aromatic radicals which coincide with the u.v. photolysis products in at least several cases. The investigation of the reaction kinetics by rapid spectrophotometry with analog computer analysis shows that the aromatics quench the triplet state of eosin and also react with it in a slower electron‐transfer process, in competition with ‘dye‐dye’ quenching and electron‐transfer reactions. The u.v. and dye‐sensitized oxidations are discussed in terms of their energetics.
