Abstract

Pulse radiolysis of 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole (2-MBT) has been undertaken in aqueous solution. The semi-oxidized species formed at pH 4.5 due to the reaction of OH, Br2 •− and N3 and at pH 10.5 with OH yielded a spectrum with λmax = 348 and 595 nm. These semi-oxidized species were able to oxidize phenothiazine drugs (Eo⋟0.8 V). Reducing species such as eaq , CO2 •− and H atoms react with 2-MBT resulting in the formation of a transient having λmax = 350 nm and reducing in nature. Kinetic and spectroscopic data of interest are reported.
