science-softCon uv/vis+ spectra data base; www.uv-spectra.de; (C) science-softCon 2012 Substance: methyl nitrite Other Names: nitrous acid, methyl ester Formula: CH3ONO CAS-No.: 624-91-9 Study: photolysis, quantum yield Authors: R.A. Cox, R.G. Derwent, S.V. Kearsey, L. Batt, K.G. Patrick Title: Photolysis of methylnitrite: kinetics of the reaction of the methoxy radical with O2 Journal/Source: J. Photochem., 13 (2), 149-163, (1980); http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/0047-2670(80)85006-4 Data: (diagram, table, disk): Energy/Wavelength range: Resolution: Temperature: Temperature dependence: Pressure/Concentration: ~ 1 atm Phase: pH: Comments: The near-UV photolysis of methylnitrite in the presence of oxygen was investigated at pressures near 1 atm. The initial process is: CH3ONO + hv --> CH3O + NO and occurs with a quantum yield of unity. Author to whom correspondence should be addressed: (e-mail address):
