Abstract
The reaction of e-aq with ethylene trihiocarbonate in aqueous medium has been investigated employing pulse radiolysis technique. The bimolecular rate constant for the reaction has been obtained as 3×1010dm3mol−1s−1. A transient absorption spectrum, with λmax at 315 nm, has been observed which is assigned to the neutral radical formed by the protonation of radical anion produced in the reaction of e-aq with ETTC. A similar absorption spectrum was also observed under the condition where the H atom instead of e-aq reacts with ETTC. The transient decayed by second-order kinetics with k2=(9.1±1.0) ×108 dm3 mol−1 s−1. The G(-ETTC) has been determined from 60Co λ-radiolysis as 3.1.
