Abstract
THE ultra-violet irradiation of organic and organometallic compounds in the liquid phase is often complicated by the tendency for deposition of an opaque layer of polymeric materials and other reaction products on the cell walls. With the use of apparatus of conventional type this tendency can cause the observed rates of photochemical reactions to decrease rapidly with time, and thereby make it impossible to investigate some reactions beyond very low conversions of the starting materials. Accurate quantitative work on relative reaction rates and quantum yields becomes very difficult.
