Aqueous Photolysis of Benzobicyclon Hydrolysate.

Benzobicyclon [3-(2-chloro-4-(methylsulfonyl)benzoyl)-2-phenylthiobicyclo[3.2.1]oct-2-en-4-one] is a pro-herbicide used against resistant weeds in California rice fields.

First Measurements of Organic Triplet Excited States in Atmospheric Waters.

Photooxidants chemically transform organic compounds in atmospheric drops and particles. Photooxidants such as hydroxyl radical (OH) and singlet molecular oxygen (O*) have been characterized in cloud and fog drops, but there are no measurements of the triplet excited states of organic matter (C*). These "triplets", which are formed from excitation of chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM), i.
