| Abstract: | Abstract The photochemical reactions occurring in the system S8 + CH3OH in the liquid phase were investigated, in the presence of, and without sensitizers. The experimental conditions were identical with those employed in studying the quenching of fluorescence.1 The decay of S8 is more rapid in the presence of sensitizers (the quantum yield and the degree of conversion are higher). In the system studied irradiation by UV light (λ 254 nm) causes the formation of (CH3)2S and of trace amounts of CH4 and C2H6. The process of S8 decay is of a mixed kinetic character—a pseudo 1st order process predominating, with a contribution from a 2nd order reaction. A possible reaction scheme, associated with excitation energy transfer from sensitizers to S8 is discussed. |
