Abstract
Photochemical decomposition of alkylperoxide radicals in glassy matrices at 77 K was experimentally studied. Irradiation with light up to 405 nm leads to the photodecomposition of peroxide radicals. The quantum yield of the reaction was estimated to be ∼10−2. A light-induced angular dependence of the ESR spectra of peroxide radicals resulting from photoselection was detected. The photoselection found proves that the photodecomposition is induced by the absorption of light in the inherent absorption band of RO2.
