Abstract
The formation of carbon dioxide by photolysis of aqueous solutions of ferric oxalate is accompanied by carbon isotopic fractionation. 12C appears preferentially in the evolved CO2, but the isotope effect depends markedly on the wavelength of the light used. Fractionation is essentially zero (k12/k13 = 1.001) at 366 nm, and increases with wavelength, reaching 1.050 at 520 nm. It is proposed that this variation of isotopic discrimination arises from the differing properties of the excited levels formed by photochemical activation.
