Abstract

The photochemical behaviour of the bromine/toluene system in acetonitrile was studied by voltammetric and spectrophotometric techniques. By irradiating at 257 nm we observed a transition from a hypothetically assumed initial ternary complex (toluene · acetonitrile · bromine) of undefined structure to a complex with a voltammetric behaviour similar to that of the Br 3 ion.

Zusammenfassung

Das photochemische Verhalten des Brom/Toluol-Systems in Acetonitril wurde mittels voltammetrischer und spektrophotometrischer Methoden untersucht. Bei der Bestrahlung bei 257nm wurde ein Übergang eines hypothetischen, in der Struktur nicht genau definierten, Komplexes (Toluol · Acetonitril · Brom) beobachtet, der ein dem Br 3 -Ion ähnliches voltammetrisches Verhalten zeigt.
