[Spectral analysis of transient species of quinoline degradation].

Quinoline's degradation was studied by pulse radiolysis. It was found that hydrated electron, hydrogen radical, hydroxyl radical and SO4*- can react with quinoline. The absorption spectra of the transient species of quinoline were obtained, and related constants were determined, but it was found that the species of Br2*- and N3*- can't react with quinoline. The results give us some advices for studing the degradation of quinoline.
