Photochemical Reaction of Carbon Monoxide under Various Conditions of Ammonia

Abstract

Ammonia generated from decomposition of a large amount of garbage, causes a serious environmental pollution. And also, carbon monoxide is notoriously a toxic compound and oxidized in the atmosphere to give carbon dioxide which causes green house effect or ozone depletion. We have investigated the possibility of carbonylation and amination, and proposed the reaction mechanisms for the photochemical transformation of carbon monoxide in aqueous methanol.
