The kinetics of the decolorization processes induced in dilute aqueous solutions of chlor phenol red by X-radiation of 120kev. energy has been investigated. The reactions are secondary to the absorption of the radiation by the water and subsequent formation of active intermediates. The molecule, which results from the initial decolorization has a susceptibility for further reaction approximately equal to that of the original species. The relatively low yield for decolorization suggests that reaction of the dye molecule does not necessarily result in decolorization. The properties of this system are such as to provide a good model for the radiation chemistry of enzyme and related systems. Competition of thiourea for the radiation intermediate has been observed.
