Abstract: | The extinction coefficients and the decay kinetics of I and (SCN) have been characterized over the 15–90°C-temperature range. The extinction coefficients of I at 385 and 725 nm were determined to be 10,000 and 2560M?1 cm?1, respectively, based on the extinction coefficient of (SCN) at 475 nm being equal to 7600M?1 cm?1. At these three wavelengths, all extinction coefficients were constant over the temperature range studied. The rate of decay of both I and (SCN) was found to be a function of I? and SCN? concentration, respectively, as well as temperature. |
