The Radiolysis of Aqueous Ammonium Cyanide: Compounds of Interest to Chemical Evolution Studies

Authors: Z. D. Draganić, V. Niketić, S. Jovanović, I. G. Draganić Oxygen-free aqueous solutions of NH4CN (0.1 M, pH 9) were exposed to gamma rays from a60Co source, the mixture of nonvolatile products was fractionated, and the fractions were analyzed. The procedures were chosen to make effective investigations of radiolytic products, and to minimize the contributions of chemical changes which…
