Radiolysis of vitreous cyclohexane-neohexane mixtures at 77 K

Abstract
Vitreous mixtures of cyclohexane and neohexane were irradiated by gamma rays at 77 K. The relative radical concentrations were computed from E.S.R. spectra of the irradiated mixtures. A chemical activation transfer from the neohexane to the cyclohexane can explain the excess of cyclohexyl radicals with respect to the electron fraction. An hydrogen transfer from neohexane to cyclohexyl radicals occurs at 120 K.
