Division of Chemistry and the Environment (VI)

COMMISSION ON ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY (VI.2)

Number: 620/25/95

Title: Photochemical Reactions of Coordination Compounds in Water Droplets in the Atmosphere: Primary Products and Mechanism

Coordinator(s): N.M. Bazhin

Remarks: Interaction with Commission III.3

Completion Date: 2000 - project completed

Objective:
Photochemical reactions of simple coordination compounds such as Fe3+ (N2O)6, Fe+3 ON (N2O)5, FeCl3, CuCl2 can provide a big part in some cases of all transformation of the chemical pollutions in the atmosphere. The mechanism of the first stages is important for understanding of the processes in water droplets. The main objectives:

  1. Discussion of the primary steps followed by light excitation
  2. Discrimination between various possibilities
  3. Evaluation of the role of photochemical reaction in the atmosphere.

Progress:
Preliminary work on flash photolysis was reported by Dr Bahzin at the IUPAC conference "Degradation Processes in the Environment", 24-28 May 1998, Dubrovnik, Croatia (poster paper and conference proceedings).

Project completed - IUPAC Technical Report published in Pure Appl. Chem., 72(11), pp. 2187-2197, 2000 entitled: 'Mechanism of Fe(OH)2+(aq) photolysis in aqueous solution'.
