Photochemical evolution of oxygen from certain aqueous solutions.
Illumination of aqueous solutions containing ferric ions and hydrogen peroxide leads to evolution of 0(2) by way of a chain reaction. The photochemically active intermediate is the complex between Fe(3) and HO(2)-. The effects of pH and concentration of the reagent on the quantum yield (chain length) are reported.
