Abstract
Abstract Transient grating (TG) spectroscopy, photoaccoustic spectroscopy, and transient adsorption spectroscopy have been applied to studying the nongeminate recombination of photodissociated diphenyl disulfide (DPDS) in liquids. The photolysis quantum yield can be easily determined by an analysis of the time profile of the thermal grating signal, if the contribution of the population grating can be neglected. The quantum yield of the photodissociation for DPDS in isooctane has been determined to be 0.43 ± 0.02, which coincides with the values evaluated from the acoustic strength in the TG signal and the acoustic intensity in an ordinary photoacoustic measurement. This result is compared with a pico-second transient absorption measurement (T. W. Scott and S. N. Liu, J. Phys. Chem., 93, 1393 (1989)).
