Voltammetric monitoring of photochemical reactions: The photosubstitution of group VIA hexacarbonyls
Voltammetry at an irradiated platinum channel electrode is used to monitor photosubstitution reactions of the Group VIA hexacarbonyls, M(CO)6 (M = Cr,Mo,W), in acetonitrile solution, in which up to three CO ligands are replaced by solvent molecules. It is shown that this methodological approach can...

| Summary: | Voltammetry at an irradiated platinum channel electrode is used to monitor photosubstitution reactions of the Group VIA hexacarbonyls, M(CO)6 (M = Cr,Mo,W), in acetonitrile solution, in which up to three CO ligands are replaced by solvent molecules. It is shown that this methodological approach can be used to suggest reaction mechanisms and to quantify rates of photoreactions, so giving estimates of quantum yields. |
