PHOTOCHEMISTRY OF BIS PHENYL CARBAMATESIN AQUEOUSSOLUTIONS by P. M~allier and J.P. Percherancier Laboratoires de Photochimie - Universit~ Claude Bernard LYON I 43, Boulevard du 11 novembre 1918 - 69622 Villeurbanne - France M. Mansour GeselIschaft fur Strahlen- und Umweltforschung mDH M~inchen I n s t i t u t fur ~kologische Chemie D-8050 Freising-Attaching F.R.G. We present the photodegradation of some bis phenyl carbamates which are phenmedipham's derivatives.

X is a substituant : H - Cl - F - NO2 or CH3 for phenmedipham. We have calculated the energy of the differents excited states, the quantum yields of fluorescence, phosphorescence and of photodegradation. The spectroscopic study and the knowledge of the photoproducts permit us to give a mechanism of reaction.
Spectroscopic properties The absorption of phenmedipham is contained between 200 and 450 nm. Our results are relative to the f i r s t absorption band in different solvents (table I and I I ) . When we study the results we ren~rk the high value of the molecular extinction c o e f f i cient, the low influence of solvents and substituants, i f we except the particular case of the nitroderivative. We have a band of charge transfer. The energy of : - the f i r s t singlet state is
415 Kj
- the f i r s t t r i p l e t state is
320 Kj
More important is the influence of the wavelength, when we use E.P.A. as solvent phosphorescence experiments.

For the nitroderivative the results of absorption and emission are d i f f e r e n t . We have an inversion between the transition 1A + 1La and 1A ÷ 1Lb for the cycle which has the substituant NO2. This inversion explains the high value of the molecular extinction c o e f f i cient at 310 nm and i t s low value at 230 nm. We find the same "red s h i f t " for the wavelength of fluorescence, and in these conditions fluorescence comes from the aromatic nucleus substi. tuted by NO2. We have an energy-transfer between the nucleus I I and the nucleus I. These results are obtained by calculation with a semi-empiric method 4,5,6 I

.Photodegradation : Kinetic and photopr_oducts We use an annular photoreactor for our experiments, the lamp emits at 254 nm (2 x 1018 photons/sec). The values of the quantui, yield of photodegradation (Table I l l ) and the effects of diphenyl are characteristic of a t r i p l e t state reaction ( f i g I I ) .

The mechanism of photodegradation is radicalar. The product e ~'azodisobutyronitri]e (ADBN) gives radicals when i t is heated or irradied. In presence of ADBN we note an increase of the quantum yield of photodegradation (in water) = This r e s u l t
