science-softCon uv/vis+ spectra data base; www.uv-spectra.de; (C) science-softCon 2009 Substance: methyl vinyl ketone Other Names: 3-buten-2-one Formula: C4H6O CAS-No.: 78-94-4 Study: photolysis, quantum yields Authors: M. E. Earle, R. Mills, J. M. Roscoe Title: The photolysis of methyl vinyl ketone at 308nm Journal/Source: J. Photochem. Photobiol. A: Chemistry, 206, 71-79, (2009); doi:10.1016/j.jphotochem.2009.05.020 Data: (diagram, table, disk): Wavelength/Energy range: 308 nm Resolution: Temperature: 300 - 475 K Temperature dependence: Pressure/Concentration: Comments: The photolysis of methyl vinyl ketone at small conversions has been studied at 308 nm and at temperatures from approximately 300 K to 475 K as a function of the partial pressures of methyl vinyl ketone, argon and oxygen. The maximum partial pressures of argon and oxygen used in these experiments were approximately 450 Torr. The maximum pressure of methyl vinyl ketone was limited by its vapour pressure to approximately 45 Torr. Author to whom correspondence should be addressed: (e-mail address):
