science-softCon uv/vis spectra data base; www.uv-spectra.de; (C) science-softcon 2008 Substance: t-butyl nitrite Other Names: nitrous acid, 1,1-dimethylethyl ester Formula: (CH3)3CONO CAS-No.: 540-80-7 Study: photolysis, quantum yield Authors: G. R. McMillan Title: Photolysis of Alkyl Nitrites. I. tert-Butyl Nitrite Journal/Source: J. Am. Chem. Soc., 84, 4007-4011, (1962); DOI: 10.1021/ja00880a006 Data: (diagram, table, disk): Energy/Wavelength range: 253.7 nm Resolution: Temperature: 372 K Temperature dependence: Pressure: Comments: Quantum yields have been measured in the vapor phase photolysis of mixtures of tert-butyl nitrite and nitric oxide. At 99° with incident light of 253.7 nm, the quantum yield of excited tert-butoxy radical formation is unity. Author to whom correspondence should be addressed: (e-mail address):
