Abstract
Reactions of several fluoroquinolones (FQs)11FQs=fluoroquinolones; ENX=enoxacin; NFX=norfloxacin; CPX=ciprofloxacin. , including enoxacin, norfloxacin, and ciprofloxacin, with various reactive species such as eaq−, N3, and OH are investigated by pulse radiolysis techniques. The FQ radical anions formed in the reactions of FQs with eaq− could either be protonated or deprotonated, and the absorption of FQ radical anions was located around 370nm. The absorption of the neutral radicals produced in the protonation, and the radical dianions produced in the deprotonation of FQ radical anions were located in the 500–750nm region. The FQ radical cations formed in the reactions of FQs with N3 showed an absorption band around 360nm. Due to the strong bleaching below 350nm, the absorption maxima (λmax) of FQ radical anions, and the λmax of FQ radical cations were not confirmed. The absorption of the FQ radical anions and cations was clearly pH dependent. Under neutral conditions, the reaction rate constants of FQs with eaq− and OH, which are diffusion controlled, were determined.
