TLDR
In this article, the super-Fricke dosimeter was used as a secondary standard for the thiocyanate dosimeter in O2-saturated water and the results were improved to 3.47 ± 0.06.
Abstract
The thiocyanate dosimeter (10–2 mol dm–3 SCN– in O2-saturated water) has been standardised against the super-Fricke dosimeter (10–2 mol dm–3 FeII in O2-saturated 0.4 mol dm–3 H2SO4) using the hexacyanoferrate(II) dosimeter [5 × 10–3 mol dm–3 Fe(CN)64– in O2-saturated water] as a secondary standard. On the basis that G(FeIII)= 1.67 × 10–6 mol J–1 and IµFeIII= 220.4 m2 mol–1 at 304 nm and 25 °C in the super-Fricke dosimeter, we obtain GIµ[Fe(CN)63–]=(3.47 ± 0.06)× 10–5 m2 J–1 at 420 nm and GIµ(SCN)2˙–=(2.59 ± 0.05)× 10–4 m2 J–1 at 475 nm. These values remain unchanged when the solutions are saturated with air instead of O2 and are doubled in N2O-saturated solution.

Radical scavenging and catalytic activity of metal-phenolic complexes.

TL;DR: A series of metal-ligand complexes prepared by the reaction of various metal ions with phenolic derivatives of [catechol, chlorogenic acid, n-propyl gallate, 3-hydroxy anthranilic acid, resveratrol, and rutin] are characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy and the metal/ligand complexing ratio and complexation constants have been determined.

OH-Radical-induced oxidation of methanesulfinic acid. The reactions of the methanesulfonyl radical in the absence and presence of dioxygen

TL;DR: In this article, a steady-state radiolysis of methanesulfinic acid was performed with conductometric detection and it was shown that CH3S(O)O˙ is formed in only ∼80% yield.

Change of boron substitution improves the lasing performance of Bodipy dyes: a mechanistic rationalisation.

TL;DR: The results of theoretical and pulse radiolysis studies revealed that the substitution at the boron centre reduced the (1)O(2) generation capacity of these dyes as well as their rate of reaction with (1), thereby enhancing their lifetimes even under lasing conditions.

Yield for the scavenging of hydroxyl radicals in the radiolysis of nitrous oxide-saturated aqueous solutions

TL;DR: In this article, the thiocyanate dosimeter was calibrated against the Fricke system to obtain a value of 46,400 +-600 (molecules/100 eV) for the product of yield and extinction coefficient of (SCN)/sub 2/O-saturated solutions.

Track effects in radiation chemistry. Concentration dependence for the scavenging of hydroxyl by ferrocyanide in nitrous oxide-saturated aqueous solutions

TL;DR: In this paper, the radiation chemical yield for oxidation of ferrocyanide by OH produced in the fast electron radiolysis of N/sub 2/O-saturated aqueous solutions was found to increase from a low concentration limiting yield of 5.2 to values in excess of 6.7.
