Alkane and mixed alkane glasses have been studied by pulse radiolysis. The spectrum for squalane (SQ) was found to be made up of contributions from both the trapped electron and the primary positive ion of squalane (SQ/sup +/). Charge transfer between the solvent positive ion and solute has been directly observed for the first time in mixed alkane glasses. In an N/sub 2/O-bubbled 3-methyloctane (3MO) glass containing 1 vol % SQ, adsorption due to SQ/sup +/ was seen to grow, concomitant with the decay of 3MO/sup +/. Growth of SQ/sup +/ was also observed in an N/sub 2/O-saturated glass of 3-methylpentane containing 2 vol % SQ.
