RADIATION CHEMISTRY OF N-PENTANE: MECHANISM FOR THE FORMATION OF LOWER MOLECULAR WEIGHT PRODUCTS
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4117084
Pyrex ampoules of n-pentane vapor were exposed to Co/sup 6O/ rays and 100-ev. Yields of the lower molecular weight products (ethylene, ethane, methane, propylene, acetylene, and butane) were tabulated. The magnitude of the yields and the product distribution are consistent with the assumption that the reaction sequence is ionization of the molecule, fragmentation, reaction of the fragment ions with pentane molecules, and neutralization of the product ions, followed by intercombination of free radicals from these processes. Certain implications of this mechanism are suggested. (auth)
