THE RADIATION CHEMISTRY OF CYCLOHEXANE. A Detailed Progress Report Covering Period January 1959 to April 1960
The radiation chemistrum of cyclohexane was studied. The effects of solutes on the yield of hydrogen. the formation of HD in mixtures oi cyclohexane with deuterated substances. and the produces formed on the radiolysis of solutions of iodine in cyclohexane were investigated. The very rapid initial reduction in the hydrogen yield occurring on the addition of 2 x 10/sup 5/ moles/ gm of solute followed by a markedly slower reduction on further addition was observed in solutions of benzene. biphenyl. o-terphenyl, and mierphenyl. Hydrogen yields from biphenyl solutions were studied in detail and results suggested that the biphenyl scawn-enged hydrogen atoms. The hydrogen yields from iodine solutions containing added benzene o; diphenyl were lese than those from saturated iodine solutions. Kinetic equations were developed for the yield of HD in C/sub 6/H/sub 12/ mixtures with deuterated cyclohexane. benzene. and biphenyl. The reactivity of iodine with free radicals made it an obvious choice foi- radical-scavenging studies in cyclohexane. The yields of higher molecular weight products. cyclohexyl iodide. cyclohexane. bicyclohexyl. and a hitherto unreported produce provisionally identified as cyclohexyl diodide. C/sub 6/H/sub 10/I/sub 2/ . were measured. At high iodine concenirations the radiation dose rate affected the yields of all products. (M.C.G.)
