Abstract
Spectrophotometric measurements were performed to calculate the association constant K for the Co(EDTA) - ·I - adduct. It is only possible to obtain the product ε{lunate} ip K (ε{lunate} ip is the molar absorptivity of the adduct). Nevertheless, these data allow us to calculate the quantum yield for the production of I 3 - and Co(EDTA) 2- on irradiation of solutions containing K[Co(EDTA)] and NaI based on the light absorbed by the adduct. In this work we also verified the presence of a reverse photochemical reaction which produces I - and Co(EDTA) - . Photochemical results obtained on addition of small amounts of sulphite to avoid the reverse photochemical reaction and the inner filter effect are also described.
