Effect of γ-radiation on hypophosphite in aqueous solution

  • 1. Poona Univ. (India). Dept. of Chemistry

Description

Exposure to γ-radiation of aqueous solutions of hypophosphite ions at neutral pH showed the formation of phosphite and phosphate ions. The G[P(III)] value (=4.1) was independent of P(I) concentration over the range 0.25-100 mM. Beyond a critical dose which was concentration dependent, the G[P(V)] value increased sharply from 0.1 to 3.5. A mechanism is envisaged to explain the P(I)→P(III)→P(V) transformations. (author)
