Radiolysis of methanol vapour

Authors: J. H. Baxendale, R.D. Sedgwick The yields of hydrogen, formaldehyde, ethylene glycol, methane and carbon monoxide from the radiolysis of methanol vapour have been measured and also those of H2 and HD from CH3OD. These have been correlated with the ions observed in the mass spectra. Benzene decreases the yields of hydrogen and formaldehyde and the effect is attributed…
