Photodegradative fate and potential phototoxic products of bromocarbazoles and chlorocarbazoles in water

Abstract

Bromocarbazoles and chlorocarbazoles are emerging environmental contaminants that have been reported to be persistent and possessing dioxin-like toxicity; however, their photodegradative fate in water is unknown. The photodegradation of 3-bromocarbazole, 3-chlorocarbazole, and 3,6-dichlorocarbazole was determined in ultrapure water. They proceeded by direct photolysis and followed first-order kinetics. The rate constants (k) were 0.4838, 0.3454, and 0.4422 h−1 corresponding to half-lives (t 1/2) 1.81, 2.01, and 1.62, while the quantum yields (Ф) were 0.232, 0.180, and 0.295 respectively. The maximum wavelengths of absorption (λ max) were in the near ultraviolet region (295, 296, 299, and 301 nm) implying these compounds are likely to degrade slowly under sunlight in natural aquatic environment. The molar extinction coefficients (ε) determined in acetonitrile were 18,573, 17,028, 13,385, and 14,010 L mol−1 cm−1, respectively, the latter being 3,6-dibromocarbazole. A bathochromic shift was observed with halogen addition on their respective mono-substituted congeners. Bromocarbazoles were observed to degrade faster in water than chlorocarbazoles. In addition, photodegradation was estimated to proceed faster in summer than in winter, in natural water system at 50° N latitude. In the absence of light, hydrolytic degradation occurred but proceeded very slowly. Hexahydroxybenzene and trihydroxycarbazole were positively identified as the likely photoproducts with the former being a known toxic compound. Dehalogenation, oxidative cleavage, hydroxylation, and hydrolysis are suggested as the major photodegradation mechanisms in water, yielding phototoxic products that may be of enhanced toxicity than the parent compounds.
