Abstract
Optic-acoustic measurements of heat energy yields for vapour-phase benzene, excited at 248 nm, as a function of high oxygen pressure have been used to determine parameters associated with the photo-oxidation of benzene. The results suggest that interaction between the highly vibrationally excited 3B 1u state of benzene and ground state oxygen results in transfer of energy to the 1Σ − u state of oxygen. This state dissociates to give oxygen ( 3P) atoms which react with ground state benzene to give phenol as the major primary product.
