6.3 Photochemistry

(1) The first law of photochemistry:

Grotthuss and Draper, 1818:

Light must be absorbed by a chemical

substance in order to initiate a

photochemical reaction.


(2) The second law of photochemistry / The law of photochemical equivalence

One quantum of radiation absorbed by a

molecule activates one molecule in the

primary step of photochemical process.

Under high intensive radiation, absorption of multi-photon may occur.

A + h A*

A* + h A**

Under ultra-high intensive radiation, SiF6 can absorb 20~ 40 protons.

These multi-photon absorption occur only at I = 1026 photon s-1 cm-3, life-time of

the photoexcited species > 10-8 s.

Commonly, I = 1013 ~ 1018 photon s-1 cm-3, life-time of A* < 10-8 s. The probability

of multi-photon absorption is rare.

Quantum yield or quantum efficiency ():

The ratio between the number of

moles of reactant consumed or product

formed for each Einstein of absorbed

radiation.

Photosensitive reaction

Reaction initiated by photosensitizer.

When reactants themselves do not

absorb light energy, photoensitizer can

be used to initiate the reaction by

conversion of the light energy to the

reactants.

is recovered for a field of corn.

transfer between electrochemically generated anion and cation radicals:

electrochemiluminescence (ECL).

Regulation of

molecular state

Laser cooling refers to a technique in which

atomic and molecular samples are cooled down

to near absolute zero through the interaction

with one or more laser fields.

All laser cooling techniques rely on the fact

that when an object (usually an atom) absorbs

and re-emits a photon, its momentum changes.

(2) Can laser cooling break the second thermodynamic law?

(3) How can we increase the energy efficiency of TiO2 in photolysis of
