URANYL-SENSITIZED PHOTOCHEMICAL OXIDATION OF NAPHTHALENE BY MOLECULAR OXYGEN. ROLE OF ELECTRON TRANSFER

Naphthalene quenches the excited state *UO22+ in two parallel pathways:  oxidation to naphthalene radical cation, C10H8•+ (Φ = 0.3), and exciplex formation. The overall rate constant in aqueous ace...
