LASER TEMPERATURE-JUMP STUDIES OF FAST REACTIONS
Abstract
Progress is reported on two major lines of investigation: microsecond-time-range measurements of rates of protolytic reactions of aqueous azo dyes have been published that were obtained in part with a laser temperature jump apparatus. Publication by another research group of similar laser temperature jump data is noted. Laser temperature jump studies of cupric ion in a fused alkali nitrate salt solvent and of the reaction in aqueous solution between ferric ion and thiocyanate ion were unsuccessful primarily because the laser pulses were not sufficiently energetic. A concurrent electric field jump relaxation method rate study of metal ion hydrolyses is also reported. Investigation of aqueous chromium (III), scandium (III), gallium (III), and indium (III) perchlorates led to generalizations regarding the forward and backward reaction rate constants. Confirmation of the existence of rapid polymerization equilibria in these systems was also provided.
