Effect of nickel(II) and nickel(II) complexes on the γ-radiolysis of thymine (Preprint no. RC-18)

  • 1. Saha Inst. of Nuclear Physics, Calcutta (India). Nuclear Chemistry Div.

Description

γ-Radiolysis of thymine(T) in presence of Ni(II) ions and its complexes were carried out in dilute aqueous solutions at neutral pH. Unlike Cu(II) or Fe(III) ions, Ni(II) ions have very little effect on the radiosensitivity of thymine. Formation of glyoxalic acid and formaldehyde in the presence of Ni(II) complexes, indicated the oxidation of the metal complexes to Ni(III) species by C6-TOH radical species.
