Kinetics of Bimoleeular Oxidation of Anthracene with Singlet Molecular Oxygen (~1Δ_g) in Organic and Aqueous-Organic Media and in Water

摘要

The kinetics of photosensitized oxidation of anthracene with singlet molecular oxygen (~1Δ_g) in organic and aqueous-organic media were studied. The bimoleeular rate constant of the reaction was determined, and its relation to solvent properties was revealed. On the basis of the obtained data, the empirical reaction rate constant in water was estimated at 2.3 x 10~6l mol~(-1) s~(-1).
