Title: Wavelength-dependent quantum yield of the OH radical formation from photolysis of nitrite ion in water

Journal/Source: Photochem. Photobiol., 45, 723-727, (1987); DOI: 10.1111/j.1751-1097.1987.tb07873.x


Data: (diagram, table, disk): 

Energy/Wavelength range: 298 - 371 nm

Resolution: 

Temperature: 

Temperature dependence: 

Pressure/Concentration: 

Phase (gas, liquid, solid): aqueous

pH: near neutral pH


Comments: Photolysis (298<lambda<371 nm) of aqueous solutions of nitrite ion near neutral pH yields the hydroxyl radical.
The wavelength-dependent quantum yield lies in the range 0.015-0.08.
