Popis: Liquid water and alcohols have been shown to undergo photoionization when subjected to vacuum ultraviolet in the range 210-180 nm. Hydrated electrons have been identified as products of photolysis in liquid water by a number of characteristic reactions using competition kinetics as a quantitative criterion. The reactions e− aq + SF6, e− aq + H3O+, and e− aq + Cd++ have been used as the principal analytical tools of investigation. The photoproduction of electrons was shown to be the result of a single photon process. A parallel investigation of the photodissociation of water to H + OH suggests that photoionization and photodissociation of liquid water involve the same excited state; the cross section for photodissociation being about ten times larger than for photoionization.
