GAS-PHASE RADIOLYSIS OF PROPANE. EFFECT OF PRESSURE AND ADDED INERT GASES

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4657214
>The direct and inert-gas radiolysis, as well as the vacuum ultraviolet photolysis of CD/sub 3/CH/sub 2/CD/sub 3/, CH/sub 3/CD/sub 2/CH/ sub 3/ and C/sub 3/H/sub 3/ + C/sub 3/D/sub 8/ mixtures were investigated in the presence o f radical scavengers. The major conclusions are: (a) at atmospheric pressures, neutral propane decomposition contributes to the observed products although to a lesser extent than parent ion decompositions; (b) a variation in pressure has a pronounced effect on the fragmentation of the parent ion; (c) the hydrogen atoms in the ethyl ion are randomized in the direct as well as in the inert-gas sensitized radiolysis; (d) rearrangement in the parent ion is of minor importance in the radiolysis; (e) although the formation of propylene is related to the propyl ion, it is not necessarily produced by the neutralization of this ion.
