Comments: CHR has a distinguished band in the range 230-275 nm with the sharp peak at 267 nm (epsilon = 140000 M-1 cm-1) and
a weak band 275-330 nm with the extinction coefficient about 15000 M-1 cm-1.
Quantum yields of the photolytic decomposition of BAP, CHR and FLU were determined and equal 0.014, 0.0031 and 0.0038, respectively.
