science-softCon uv/vis+ spectra data base; www.uv-spectra.de, (C) science-softCon 2009 Substance: 2,2',3,4,4',5',6-heptabromodiphenyl ether Other Names: BDE-183; PBDE 183 Formula: C12H3Br7O CAS-No.: 207122-16-5 Study: photochemical decomposition, uv absorption spectrum, photolysis Authors: J. Eriksson, N. Green, G. Marsh, Å. Bergman Title: Photochemical Decomposition of 15 Polybrominated Diphenyl Ether Congeners in Methanol/Water Journal/Source: Environ. Sci. Technol., 38 (11), 3119–3125, (2004); DOI: 10.1021/es049830t Data: (diagram, table, disk): table, diagram Energy/Wavelength range: 290 - 320 nm Resolution: Temperature: Temperature dependence: Pressure/Concentration: Comments: The photochemical degradation of 15 individual PBDEs substituted with 4-10 bromine atoms was studied in methanol/water (8:2) by UV light in the sunlight region. Nine of these were also studied in pure methanol, and four of the nine PBDEs were studied in tetrahydrofuran. Author to whom correspondence should be addressed: (e-mail address):
