PHOTOCHEMICAL TRANSFORMATIONS OF ANTHRAQUINONE AND ITS DERIVATIVES IN POLYDIMETHYLSILOXANE MATRIX

Abstract

The photochemical reactions of anthraquinone and 2-ethylanthraquinone in the high molecular polydimethylsiloxane rubber SKT were studied by the method of luminescent spectroscopy. It was shown that in the absence of oxygen under ultraviolet light 9,10-anthrahydroquinones formed.
