Radical yields in the radiolysis of cyclic compounds

摘要

The radiolytic decomposition of simple cyclic organic liquids mainly occurs by the breakage of a carbon-hydrogen bond giving the molecular radical and a hydrogen atom.Although the mechanism may be similar,very different yields are found for various six member rings such as cyclohexane,benzene,and pyridine.Experiments using iodine-scavenging techniques give both molecular radical and H atom yields directly and allow an examination of their correlation with each other in different condensed phase cyclic organics.
