Abstract

Kinetic studies on the photoinduced electron transfer reduction of a variety of halomethanes in acetonitrile and ethanol at 298 K are reported in terms of the quenching rate constants (kq) with a series of reductants (carbazoles and anthracenes) whose one-electron oxidation potentials (Eox) have been measured again in the present work vs. SCE and independently vs. ferrocene. The Rehm–Weller Gibbs energy relationship is applied to determine the ...
