Abstract
A comparison of the positive ionic fragments from dissociation of trichlorobrommethane by β—, γ decay of 35.9‐hr Br82 and from isomeric transition of 4.4‐hr Br80m was made by mass spectrometric techniques. Virtually all the products following beta decay are singly charged, while distributions of multiply charged atomic species dominate the fragmentation pattern after the isomeric transition. The results indicate that negative beta decay affects the molecule rather mildly, while the effect is violent following isomeric transition with internal conversion. In the latter mode of nuclear decay the molecule apparently explodes as a result of multicenter Coulombic repulsion.Keywords
