Abstract
Phosphorescence of methyl acetate formed by isomerization of electron-excited dimethyldioxirane is observed upon excitation at the wavelength of the absorption band of dimethyldioxirane in acetone at 77 K. The quantum yield of the photodecomposition of dimethyldioxirane at 296 K is equal to 13.1±0.7 mol Einstein−1. The high quantum yield of photolysis is evidence for the chain mechanism of decomposition of dimethyldioxirane.
