Abstract

Results The present study made use of direct competitive techniques to evaluate relative reactivities. All studies were carried out at 25 OC. Solutions containing pairs of PAH were prepared in dichloromethane. The average total molarity was approximately 0.1 M, although more concentrated solutions (as high as 1.0 M) were sometimes utilized. Aliquots of these solutions were treated directly with ozone in an oxygen stream for varying lengths of time. ...
