Abstract:
Nanosecond laser flash photolysis technique was used to study photochemistry of Fe(III) complex with glioxalic acid. The primary photochemical process was found to be inner-sphere electron transfer in the excited complex leading to formation of the long-lived radical complex [FeII … ·OOC-C(O)H]2+. A number of important spectral-kinetic parameters of this species were determined and mechanism of photolysis of Fe(III)-glioxalate complex was proposed. 1 The article was translated by the authors.
