Abstract: | Photodissociation processes of H2O2 in the range 193–240 nm have been studied by pulsed laser photolysis and laser‐induced fluorescence detection of H atom fragments at 121.56 nm. The quantum yield values for H atom formation at 295 ± 2 K have been determined to be 0.20 ± 0.03, 0.038 ± 0.008, 0.029 ± 0.003, 0.015 ± 0.006, 0.007 ± 0.002 at 193, 207, 210, 220, and 230 nm, respectively. At 240 nm, only the upper limit value of <0.002 has been obtained. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 37: 751–754, 2005 |
