For the photolysis, a DRK-120 mercury-quartz lamp was used. Products of the photolysis reaction were compared with known products of TNT transformation in the environment. Because the photochemistry of some compounds in alcohols (in contrast to aqueous solutions) features a transfer of electrons from the solvent to the light-excited compound, we believe that the efficiency of photolysis (polymerization) of TNT in ethanol and aqueous-ethanolic solutions is based on this mechanism.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules27227992","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,18]],"date-time":"2022-11-18T06:11:34Z","timestamp":1668751894000},"page":"7992","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Photolysis by UVA\u2013Visible Light of TNT in Ethanolic, Aqueous-Ethanolic, and Aqueous Solutions According to Electrospray and Aerodynamic Thermal Breakup Droplet Ionization Mass Spectrometry"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"27","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0357-9145","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dmitriy G.","family":"Sheven","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Nikolaev Institute of Inorganic Chemistry SB RAS, Acad.
