The primary photolysis dynamics of oxalate in aqueous solution: decarboxylation
Literature Information
Jan Thøgersen, Tobias Weidner, Frank Jensen
We study the primary reaction dynamics of aqueous oxalate following photo-excitation of the nO → πCO* transition at λ = 200 nm. After the excitation, some of the oxalate molecules return to the electronic ground state on two very different time scales: a fast component of τ = 1.1 ± 0.5 ps comprising 40% of the excited molecules and a much slower component of τ = 0.28 ± 0.05 ns accounting for 15% of the excited molecules. The remaining 45% of the excited molecules do not return to the ground state during the first 500 ps, because they either detach an electron, dissociate or stay excited for hundreds of picoseconds. Dissociation and electron detachment of oxalate predominantly produces CO2 molecules with only minor yields of CO2˙− radical anions. The CO2 formation is accompanied by the ejection of electrons.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
