Abstract: Active intermediates produced in the photolysis of benzaldehyde and p-bromobenzaldehyde have been investigated by the spin trapping technique and ESR spectroscopy. The results show that the free radicals C6H5CO, p-BrC6H4CO, C6H5, and p-BrC6Hi are formed in the primary processes; and the free radicals C6H5CHOH and p-BrC6H4CHOH are formed in concentrated solution.

Key words: photolysis, benzaldehyde, ESR, intermediate, free radical
