Influence of light on chemical reactivity of water
Abstract
Visible light, ultraviolet and x-ray radiation have been found to increase chemical reactivity of water. The irradiated solution of water in acetonitrile reacts with triethyl phosphite considerably faster than the non-irradiated control solution. This phenomenon is accounted for by the decomposition of water clusters under the influence of light with the formation of chemically more active free water molecules.
