Confirmed assignments of isomeric dimethylbenzyl radicals generated by corona discharge.

Spectroscopic Identification of Isomeric 2,3- and 2,6-Dimethylbenzyl Radicals in Corona Discharge

We resolved the controversial assignments of the visible vibronic bands observed from corona discharge of 1,2,3-trimethylbenzene. The vibronic bands belonging to the jet-cooled 2,6-dimethylbenzyl radical were clearly identified from the spectrum observed from corona discharge of 2,6-dimethylbenzyl chloride. After subtracting the bands of the 2,6-isomer from the spectrum observed from corona dis...

Spectroscopic Identification of Isomeric Trimethylbenzyl Radicals Generated from 1,2,3,4-Tetramethylbenzene

The visible vibronic emission spectrum was recorded from the corona discharge of precursor 1,2,3,4tetramethylbenzene with a large amount of inert carrier gas helium using a pinhole-type glass nozzle coupled with corona excited supersonic expansion. The spectrum showed a series of vibronic bands in the D1 → D0 electronic transition of jet-cooled benzyl-type radicals formed from the precursor in ...

Inactivation of bacteria using dc corona discharge: role of ions and humidity.

Here we present the results of an experimental study of the effect of ions produced in a dc corona discharge on inactivation of bacteria on the surface of agarose gel. Both positive and negative corona discharges in various gases at different humidities were studied. The measurements in air, O(2), N(2), Ar and He mixtures show that there is no inactivation in pure N(2), pure O(2) and an N(2)-H(...
