THE EFFECT OF CUPRIC AND THALLOUS IONS ON THE RADIOLYSIS OF AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS OF ETHYLENEDIAMINE. PROPANE-1,2-DIAMINE, AND GLYCINE
Oxygen-saturated solutions of ethylenediamine, propane1,2-diamine, and glycine in triply distilled water were irradiated with Co/sup 60/ gamma rays at a dose rate of 12400 rad/ min, with total doses of 100,000 to 150,000 rads. Thallous or cupric sulfate in dilute aqueous solutions was found to induce radiolysis in the presence of scavengers, which othervise completely inhibit their decomposition. Organic scavengers inhibited radiolysis completely in propane-1, 3-diamine and in butane-1,4-diamine solutions in the presence of thallous sulfate. Cupric sulfate had no effect on the radiolysis of ethylenediamine solutions saturated with nitrous oxide, in the presence or absence of scavengers. It is suggested that cupric ions act by reduction to Cu/ sup +/ since they have no effect under nitrous oxide. Thallous ion, on the other hand, may act via the Tl/sup 2+/ state, formed by their reaction with OH radicals. (P.C.H.)
