Photodecomposition and Charge Transfer Complexes of Acetylferrocene in Binary Solvents

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF00799921

Photoreactions of acetylferrocene in equimolar binary solvents: CCl4 - cyclohexane and C2Cl4 - cyclohexane were investigated.Photoproducts were identified and the relations between the quantity of photoproducts, their quantum yield, the amount of decomposed acetylferrocene and exposure time and wavelength were determined.Equilibrium constants K and molar extinction coefficients ε_c of the CT complexes formed between acetylferrocene and halogen derivative were determined. - Keywords: Acetylferrocene; Charge transfer complexes; Photodecomposition; Quantum yield.
