Description

Photochemical reactions are very important in many areas of chemistry with applications including photodynamic therapy and solar energy harvesting. These reactions often proceed quickly and, as a result, require fast reaction techniques to analyze. The Vernier Flash Photolysis Spectrometer is a simple, user-friendly transient absorption spectrometer. It is useful for demonstrating the fundamental principles of these types of fast, photo-catalyzed reactions. Some experiment ideas include kinetics of photochemical reactions such as

  • Excited-state dynamics
  • Triplet-decay analysis
  • Time-resolved phosphorescence
  • Phosphorescence-quenching kinetics
  • Isomerization
  • Reactive free radicals
  • Photocatalysis

Specification

  • Spectral coverage: 450–750 nm
  • Temporal resolution: 100 microseconds
  • Spectral Resolution: Determined by the filter used (typically 10 nm)
  • Minimum time window: 15 milliseconds

Experiments

The reference manual contains helpful background information on excited state chemical kinetics, important technical information for operation, and three experiments:
