Laser photolysis of ionic liquid [bmim][PF6]
Photoinduced chemical reactions of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([bmim][PF6]) were studied by laser photolysis at a wavelength of 266 nm. Excited triplet state ^3[bmim]^+* was observed, radical cation [bmim] ^2+*. and neutral [bmim]^* radical via photoionization were also formed....

Summary: | Photoinduced chemical reactions of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([bmim][PF6]) were studied by laser photolysis at a wavelength of 266 nm. Excited triplet state ^3[bmim]^+* was observed, radical cation [bmim] ^2+*. and neutral [bmim]^* radical via photoionization were also formed. Energy transfer from ^3[bmim]^+* to β-carotene was confirmed. Oxidation via one electron transfer from TMPD to 3[bmim]+* was also observed and the rate constant was determined to be 1.2 × 10^5 L·mol^-1·s^-1. The reaction of [bmim][PF6] with hydrated electron (eaq^-) was confirmed by laser photolysis in aqueous solution. |
