Von Sonntag Title: Strahlenchemie von alkoholen-IX. Die UV-photolyse (lambda = 185 nm) von methanol in flüssiger phase Journal/Source: Tetrahedron, 25, 5853-5861, (1969); doi:10.1016/S0040-4020(01)83092-1 Data: Energy/Wavelength range: 185 nm Resolution: Temperature: Temperature dependence: Pressure/Concentration: Phase: liquid pH: Comments: The UV photolysis (lambda = 185 nm) of liquid methanol yields hydrogen, glycol, formaldehyde, methane and traces of ethane in quantum yields of 0.83, 0.78, 0.058, 0.05 and 0.002 resp. (related to PHI(H2) = 0.4 of the ethanol-actinometer (5 mole/1 in water)). Author to whom correspondence should be addressed: (e-mail address):
