The effect of a hydroxy group on the reaction of singlet oxygen with an unsaturated group has been studied for linalol and geraniol, model molecules for hydroxylated polyisoprene. Only some of all the possible reactions actually occur. A hydroxy group in a unit strongly deactivates this unit but has

The initiation of polystyrene photo-oxidation has been studied and the quantum yield of initiation (~PR') for u.v.-irradiation at 315 K in the presence of atmospheric oxygen has been found to be 10 -3. Using ESR spectra, five distinct free radicals have been found; their nature depends on the wave l
Aromatic ketones have been used to initiate the photo-oxidation of polystyrene at wavelengths > 300 nm. Quantum yields of oxygen absorption have been measured. The results indicate that only ketones with a lowest 3(n it\*) state are efficient and that hydrogen abstraction is the initial step of the
