Photooxidation of Leuco Dyes. VIII. Time Resolved Investigations of the Mechanism of the Photooxidation of Leucocrystal Violet
The photooxidation of leucocrystal violet has been reexamined by means of conventional and laser flash photolysis as well as spin trap experiments. Three radical transients have been observed and assigned to the cation radical (λmax ≈ 490, 530 nm), the neutral radical with oneNCH3CH2 moiety (λmax ≈ 480 nm) and the triphenyl methyl radical derivative (λmax ≈ 400 nm).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
