SEARCH FOR PROPANOL FORMATIONnIN GAMMA-IRRADIATED CARBON DIOXIDE-PROPANE MIXTURES AS A MEASURE OF TRIPLET AND SINGLET OXYGEN ATOM REACTIONS WITH HYDROCARBONS

摘要

The formation of n-propanol and isopropanol has been used as a measure of oxygen atom reactions. Photolyses of N20/C3H8 mixtures gave a n-propanol/isopropanol ratio approximating that expected from 0(¹D) reactions. Radiolyses of N20/C3H8 and C02/C3H8 mixtures indicated an insignificant contribution by 0(¹D).
