Laser-Induced Photoionization of Two-Electron-Reduced Viologen

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1993.2089

Laser photolysis of two-electron-reduced 1,1'-bis(3-sulfonatepropyl)-4,4'-bipyridinium (PSV^2-) produced by the reduction of PVS⁰ with Na2S2O4 in the cationic micelles of hexadecyltrimethylammonium chloride induced the photoionization of PVS^2- to generate comparable amounts of PVS^-. and hydrated electrons.Pyrene with a considerably negative potential of -2.09 vs.SCE was observed to be reduced in the system.
