Co/sup 60/ gamma irradiation of water saturated with acetylene (1 atm.) in the absence of oxygen yielded C/sub 1/, C/sub 2/, and C/sub 4/ aldehydes and a white solid polymer. The irradiated solution showed a very strong, bread absorption band with a maximum at about 200 m mu . Aqueous solutions of acetylene- oxygen mixtures, on irradiation, yielded glyoxal and hydrogen peroxide, with small amounts of an organic hydroperoxide (G approximates 0.3). The formation of the radiation products has been studied at different ratios of oxygen/acetylene, as a function of pH and in the presence of added ferrous sulfate. Under certain conditions, glyoxal is apparently formed by a chain reaction. (auth)
