Title: Dosimetry by means of the radiation reduction of hemin in aprotic solvents. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5272327

Iron (III) porphyrins when dissolved in certain polar organic solvents are reduced by ionizing radiation. This results in a stable shift of both the Soret (B) and visible (Q) absorption bands, as long as the solution is maintained in a deaerated state, thus affording a means of radiation dosimetry.
