The photolysis of FeCl2+ can be highlighted and studied as the huge interference by FeOH2+ can be avoided under such conditions. Our data allowed the assessment of a photolysis quantum yield for FeCl2+ of 5.8 � 10-4 under UVA irradiation, much lower compared to the literature value of 0.5. The discrepancy can be explained if the photolysis process is efficient but photoformed Fe2+ and Cl� undergo recombination inside the solvent cage. © Springer-Verlag 2007. date: 2008 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-38649142795&doi=10.1007%2fs10311-007-0108-z&partnerID=40&md5=a9b4e16686b72861a0350d3ead2bd323 id_number: 10.1007/s10311-007-0108-z full_text_status: none publication: Environmental Chemistry Letters volume: 6 number: 1 pagerange: 29-34 refereed: TRUE issn: 16103653 citation: Khanra, S. and Minero, C. and Maurino, V. and Pelizzetti, E. and Dutta, B.K. and Vione, D.
