Radiolysis of Pyrimidines in Aqueous Solutions

Authors: G. A. Infante, P. Jirathana, J. H. Fendler, E. J. Fendler Product yields in the reaction of e;,, .H, -OH and CI,. with thymine and those in the reaction of e^(-)aq and .OH/O-. with thymine- have been determined quantitatively in 60-co-irradiated aqueous thymine solutions in the presence of suitable scavengers. Good material balances between G(- thymine) and G(total products)…

Pulse Radiolysis Study of Alcohols in Aqueous Solution

Authors: M. Simic, P. Neta, E. Hayon A detailed pulse radiolysis study of aqueous solutions of methanol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, n-, iso-, and t-butyl alcohols, neopentanol, and eyelohexanol has been carried out. Optical absorption spectra of some of the transients have been measured down to 210 nm. Similar spectra were obtained in liquid methanol, ethanol, and isopropyl alcohol. Absorption maxima…
