Nadasdi, G. Kovacs, I. Szilagyi, A. Demeter, S. Dobe, T. Berces, F. Marta Title: Exciplex laser photolysis study of acetone with relevance to tropospheric chemistry Journal/Source: Chem. Phys. Lett., 440, 31-35, (2007); doi:10.1016/j.cplett.2007.04.014 Data: (diagram, table, disk): table, diagram Energy/Wavelength range: 248 nm; 308 nm Resolution: Temperature: 233 - 323 K Temperature dependence: Pressure/Concentration: 13 - 998 mbar Comments: Exciplex laser photolysis at 248 and 308 nm wavelengths coupled with gas-chromatographic analysis was applied to determine the photodissociation quantum yield of acetone (QY). At 308 nm, QY has been found to decrease with decreasing temperature (T = 323-233 K) and to decrease with increasing pressure (P = 13-998 mbar synthetic air).
