Abstract: Mechanism of direct UVC photolysis of dibenzazepine-type drug imipramine (IMI) was revealed by the combination of laser flash photolysis for the detection of short lived intermediates and steady-state photolysis coupled with LC-MS for identification of final products. Both quantum yield of IMI photoionization and molar absorption coefficient of IMI radical cation were determined for the first time.

Keywords: pharmaceuticals, dibenzazepines, antidepressants, UVC photolysis, laser flash photolysis, photodegradation, radicals, photoionization, water treatment.
