Radiolysis of the acetic acid-ethane thiol binary system

The method of electronic paramagnetic resonance has been applied to study the low temperature radiolysis of the binary acetic acidethanethiol system with a different correlation of components. EPR spectra of paramagnetic centers which appear from both acetic acid and ethanethiol are observed in the radiolysis of ethanethiol solid solutions in the acetic acid of sufficient concentration (6-10 M solutions). Radiation chemical outputs of the process are determined. The conclusion is made that low ethanethiol concentrations defend the molecules of the acid. The possibility of introducing the directed radiolysis of a number of binary systems is noted
