Electron-Stimulated Sonochemiluminescence of Ce3+ Ions in Liquid Ammonia
摘要
This is the first study of the light emission during the sonolysis of liquid ammonia and of solutions of cerium and silver salts in this solvent at –70°C. A Ce3+ luminescence band with a maximum at 400 nm in the moving singlebubble sonoluminescence spectrum generated by ultrasound in a solution of 5·10–4 M Ce(SO4)2 in ammonia was discovered. This band was found in addition to the bubble luminescence continuum usual for liquids (240–800 nm in ammonia). The quenching of this band in the presence of AgNO3 in ammonia solution indicates that electron acceptor Ag+ ions suppress the probable sonochemiluminescence reaction Ce4+ +
