Quantum Yield of Photonitrosation of Cyclododecane in Carbon Tetrachloride

Abstract

Quantum Yield of photonitrosation of cyclododecane in carbon tetrachloride was measured. Obtained value at 365 nm was about 0.6 irrespective of the concentration of cyclododecane. Fluctuation of values obtained at 578 nm was very high. However, by choosing suitable concentration of nitrosyl chloride and cyclododecane, high value of 0.8 or above was obtained.These results were discussed in terms of the mechanistic viewpoint.
