Abstract

Abstract: Ultrasonic irradiation of liquids produces acoustic cavitation: the rapid formation, growth, and implosive collapse of vapor filled vacuoles. This generates short-lived “hot spots” with peak temperatures-3000 K and nanosecond lifetimes. We have studied the effects of high intensity ultrasound on a variety of metal carbonyls and have observed the general phenomenon of sonochemical ligand dissociation, which often produces multiple ...
