science-softCon uv/vis+ spectra data base; www.uv-spectra.de; (C) science-softCon 2011 Substance: 1,2-butadiene Other Names: methylallene Formula: CH2=C=CHCH3 CAS-No.: 590-19-2 Study: photolysis, quantum yields, absorption cross sections Authors: A. Hanf, H.-R. Volpp, P. Sharma, J. P. Mittal, R. K. Vatsa Title: Ultraviolet photochemistry of buta-1,3- and buta-1,2-dienes: Laser spectroscopic absolute hydrogen atom quantum yield and translational energy distribution measurements Journal/Source: J. Chem. Phys., 133, 024308, (2010); doi:10.1063/1.3462951 Data: (diagram, table, disk): Energy/Wavelength range: 121.6 nm Resolution: Temperature: 298 K Temperature dependence: Pressure/Concentration: Phase (gas, liquid, solid): pH: Comments: Absolute H-atom product quantum yields of PHI(H-b13d) = (0.32±0.04) and PHI(H-b12d) = (0.36±0.04) were measured under collision-free conditions for the 193 nm gas-phase laser flash photolysis of buta-1,3- and buta-1,2-diene at room temperature. In addition, values of sigma(b-1,3-d) = (3.5±0.2) x 10-17 cm2 and sigma(b-1,2-d) = (4.4±0.2) x 10-17 cm2 for the previously unknown Lyman-alpha (121.6 nm) radiation photoabsorption cross sections of buta-1,3- and buta-1,2-diene in the gas-phase were determined.
