Radiolysis of silver ion solutions in ethylene glycol: solvated electron and radical scavenging yields

Abstract

The solvated electron yield in neat ethylene glycol (1,2-ethanediol), measured using pulse radiolysis, is G (esolv-)10ns=(1.7+/-0.2)x10{sup -7}molJ{sup -1}. The rate constant of the reaction of solvated electrons with silver cations is k (esolv-+Ag+)=(2.8+/-0.1)x10{sup 9}dm{sup 3}mol{sup -1}s{sup -1} and the absorption band maximum of Ag{sup 0} is at 350nm. The surface plasmon band of the silver clusters appears slowly at around 400nm with a coalescence cascade rate constant of 2x10{sup 6}dm{sup 3}mol{sup -1}s{sup -1}. The free silver ions do not scavenge ethylene glycol radicals.In contrast, the {gamma}-radiolysis reduction yield of Ag{sup +} into clusters is dose-dependent, changing from G{sub i}(Ag{sub n})=(2.5+/-0.5)x10{sup -7}molJ{sup -1} at low dose to G{sub max}(Ag{sub n})=(7.5+/-0.5)x10{sup -7}molJ{sup -1} at higher doses, when clusters accumulate. Silver cations adsorbed on clusters are able to scavenge the ethylene glycol radicals, which also contribute to their reduction for a part of G{sub rad}=(5.8+/-0.5)x10{sup -7}molJ{sup -1}. Considering the different ways the reducing radicals can be produced, it is concluded that they originate from the electron-cation recombination and from the cation-ethylene glycol reaction, but that the dissociation of excited states is a negligible path. The formation mechanisms of the radicals and the rate constants in ethylene glycol are compared with those in water  More>>
