Abstract
On pulse radiolysis of N2O saturated aqueous solutions of atropine, an optical absorption band (
max at 320 nm,e=2.81·103 dm3·mol–1·cm–1) was observed, which is assigned to the product of reaction of OH radicals with the solute. This absorption decayed following second order kinetics with a rate constant of 4.5·108 dm3·mol–1·s–1. The rate constant for the reaction of OH radicals with atropine as estimated by following the build-up kinetics is 2.7·109 dm3·mol–1·s–1. The H atoms also reacted with this compound to produce a transient absorption band behaving similarly to the one observed in the case of reaction with OH radicals. The transient species formed in both cases is assigned to a radical derived by H atom abstraction by H/OH radicals from the parent compound. This radical was unreactive towards 2-mercaptoethanol. e
