Rates of Rapid Chemical Reactions.
Abstract
The kinetic behavior of carbocyanine dyes in low temperature glasses was investigated by a laser flash photolytic technique. Ultrasonic absorption kinetic studies of the complexation of silver (I) ion by thiosulfate anion and of many other cations by several ligands including particularly crown ethers have also been completed. The minicomputerization of a laser Debye-Sears ultrasonic absorption technique proved especially fruitful and led to a similar digitization of an electric field jump kinetic experiment. An investigation of the thermal degradation of a polyperfluoroalkyl ether confirmed earlier conclusions regarding its free radical mechanism. An unique photoacoustic spectroscopy experiment incorporating a piezoelectric transducer in place of a microphone was developed to study titanium metal corrosion. The technique also has potential interest for measuring fluorescence lifetimes of excited states in materials such as neodymium (III) oxide and neodymium laser glass. (Author)
