PHOTO-PK OF INDOLINE-2-THIONE

The photochemistry and photokinetics of indoline-2-thione (1) has been investigated by continuous illumination at 334 nm and flash photolysis in aqueous solutions as a function of pH. The photokinetic behaviour and product distribution were almost independent on the presence of oxygen in the solutio...
