要旨

Photoirradiation of perylene in the presence of 1,4-dicyanobenzene and NaCN in a benzonitrile (BN)/water emulsion under vigorous stirring gave 1- and 3-cyanoperylene in a total yield of 15%. For kinetic and mechanistic studies of the photoreaction, we conducted single-droplet measurements by using a laser trapping-microspectroscopy technique. Although determination of the incident light intensity absorbed by a solute in the emulsion is in general very difficult owing to strong light scattering, that in single laser-trapped BN droplets dispersed in water was successful on the basis of the photooxidation reaction of 9,10-disubstituted anthracene. The quantum yield of the photocyanation of perylene (ΦCN) was then determined to be 4.9 × 10−3. Furthermore, we found that ΦCN was linearly proportional to the inverse of the droplet radius: the reaction efficiency increased with decreasing droplet size through an increase in the surface area/volume (A/V) ratio of a droplet. This is the first demonstration of micrometre droplet size effects on the quantum yield for a photoreaction across the droplet/water interface.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
