Abstract

Abstract Pulse radiolysis of aqueous HgBr2 solutions was investigated in the range from visible to 260 nm. HgBr2 is reduced by eaq−, H, CO2−, and some alcohol radicals except t-butyl alcohol radical to yield a transient species, HgBr, having an absorption spectrum with a maximum at 350 nm (ε350=(4.3±0.2)×103 M−1 cm−1) . k(eaq−+HgBr2) was determined by the pseud-first order decay of eaq− observed at 500 nm as (4.0±0.3)×1010 M−1 s−1. The reactivities of the other reducing species toward HgBr2 were estimated to be in the order eaq−>CO2−>\dotEtOH≈i-\dotPr-OH>MeOH by comparing the absorption yields of HgBr in equimolar HgBr2 solutions containing the parent substances of the respective species. HgBr was found to decay following a second order rate law (2k=(1.0±0.1)×1010 M−1 s−1), producing Hg2Br2. HgBr2 reacts also with the OH radical to give a transient species which shows a similar spectrum to that of Br2−. It is considered that the transient may be HgBr3 instead of Br2−.
