Abstract

Abstract The photochemical decomposition of oxoperoxovanadium(V), VO(O2)+, was studied in perchloric acid media. It was found that the irradiation of VO(O2)+ solutions with 313, 365, and 436 nm exciting light resulted in the photoreduction of the complex, and gave VO2+, with an evolution of oxygen. The overall reaction is: 4VO(O2)++4H+–→4VO2++3O2+2H2O. The photochemical reaction mechanism is also discussed.
