science-softCon uv/vis+ spectra data base; www.uv-spectra.de, (C) science-softCon 2018 Substance: acetamiprid Other Names: mospilan Formula: C10H11ClN4 CAS-No.: 135410-20-7 PubChem: CID 213021 Study: uv absorption spectra, photolysis, quantum yields Authors: Z. Lu, J.K. Challis, C.S. Wong Title: Quantum yields for direct photolysis of neonicotinoid insecticides in water: Implications for exposure to non-target aquatic organisms Journal/Source: Environ. Sci. Technol. Lett., 2 (7), 188-192, (2015); DOI: 10.1021/acs.estlett.5b00136 Data: diagram, table Energy/Wavelength range: 200 - 310 nm Resolution: 0.1 nm Temperature: 298 K Temperature dependence: no Pressure/Concentration. Phase: solution (65:35 (v:v) Milli-Q water/acetonitrile) pH: Comments: These compounds strongly absorb UV irradiation over a wide wavelength range, from 200 to 360 nm. Thiamethoxam, clothianidin, andimidacloprid all have tailing absorption bands well past 290 nm. Quantum yields (full spectrum sunlight) were 0.019 ± 0.001, 0.013 ± 0.001, 0.0092 ± 0.0005, 0.0022 ± 0.0003, and 0.0013 ± 0.0002 for thiamethoxam, clothianidin, imidacloprid, acetamiprid, and thiacloprid, respectively.
