Napier, R.G.W. Norrish Title: The photolysis and pyrolysis of nitromethane and methyl nitrite Journal/Source: Proc. Roy. Soc. London A, 299, 317-336, (1967); doi: 10.1098/rspa.1967.0139 Data: (diagram, table, disk): Wavelength/Energy range: 215 nm Resolution: Temperature: Temperature dependence: Pressure/Concentration: Phase: pH: Comments: The photolysis and pyrolysis of nitromethane and methyl nitrite have been studied using the techniques of flash photolysis and kinetic spectroscopy. The absorption cross section at 215 nm is sigma = 4.97E-18 cm2/molecule. Author to whom correspondence should be addressed: (e-mail address):
