Radiolysis of liquid cyclohexane results in the formation of three major products (hydrogen, cyclohexene, and dicyclohexyl) in amounts that vary with the total radiation adsorbed. Examination of the reactions with three freeradical scavengers (butyl disulfide, butyl mercaptan, and cyclohexene) demonstrates the formation of thermal hydrogen radicals and shows that hydrogen-- radical reactions account for about 40% of hydrogen production. Radiolysis of C/sub 6/H/ sub 12/--C/sub 6/D/sub 12/ mngxtures gave an upper limit of about 2 for direct detachment of hydrogen. The remaining 35 to 60% of the hydrogen must form by other non-radical processes. (auth)
