Oxidation of alkanes in aqueous solutions of mercury(II) salts with UV irradiation

An oxidation reaction of saturated C/sub 2/-C/sub 7/ hydrocarbons and benzene in aqueous solutions of mercury(II) sulfate at 298/sup 0/K and with irradiation of light at 180-360 nm has been identified. The main product of the oxidation of ethane is CO/sub 2/. The selectivity of the processes and the kinetic isotope effect (cyclo C/sub 6/H/sub 12//cyclo-C/sub 6/D/sub 12/ = 1.46 +/- 0.05) have been determined by means of competing reactions. The kinetics of absorption are given by the equation -(d(RH)/d tau) = k(RH) x (Hg(II)). It has been proposed that a photoexcited Hg(II) particle serves as a reactant and that the reaction starts with cleavage of a C-H bond.
