Ions and excitations in organic radiation chemistry. The gamma radiation induced reactions of 1, 3-cyclohexadiene. The radiation induced isomerization of 1, 2-diphenylpropene in cyclohexane
PART I: Irradiation of 1,3-cyclohexadiene with γ rays leads to dimerization, either in benzene solution or in the neat liquid. Relative amounts of the products vary widely with reaction conditions but the composition of the mixtures can be expressed as consisting of variable amounts of two groups. O...
