Role of ionic processes in the formation of free radicals in γ-irradiated glassy toluene
Description
Spectrophotometric study has been made on the reaction intermediates generated by γ-irradiation in glassy toluene at 77 K. Benzyl and methylcyclohexadienyl radicals are generated roughly in equal amounts, and the total yield (G value) of the radicals is 0.19. The addition of biphenyl results in the formation of biphenyl anion and cation and depletes the radical yield by 40%. The results indicate that the excited-state toluene, the precursor of the radicals, is generated by recombination of ions as well as by the direct effect of the radiation on toluene
