Hi, I have worked on target compounds degradation using UV, I wish to calculate the quantum yield for all the target compounds. Is it compulsory that the order of kinetics will follow the first-order kinetics only and not pseudo or vice versa?
Even if anyone can help me how to calculate the theoretical kinetics for my compound during direct photolysis?
These three articles can answer your question

Thank you for your help Junass. I will read it and get back to you for further queries.
Dear Mehak Puri,
You are welcome to contact my colleague Melanie Voigt. She is also active here.
Melanie has conducted many experiments on the degradation of pharmaceuticals with UV light. I think she will be happy to provide you with information.
Many greetings
Joachim Horst
Dear Joachim Horst
Thank you for your help. I will surely contact Melaine Voigt.
