Abstract

Uranyl ion is photochemically reduced to uranium(IV) in the presence of triethylamine and triethylamine is oxidized to secondary amine and acetaldehyde. On the basis of product analysis, temperature independent quantum yields for uranium(IV) formation and abnormal Stern-Volmer plots rule out the simple collisional photochemical annihilation of excited uranyl ion with triethylamine. Static annihilation has a significant contribution in addition to dynamic annihilation.
