Recently radicals of the cyclohexadienyl type were postulated to explain the electron spin resonance spectra of irradiated aromatics. The spectra of 1,4- cyclohexadiene were studied during irradiation in the liquid phase. The resulting 72-line spectrum was due to the cyclohexadienyl radical. A study of the effect of dose rate on the ratio of butene-1 to hexane-1 yields from radiolysis of ethylene showed that the ratio increases with dose rate at --165 deg . The radical yields from cyclopentane and cyclopropane are being investigated. The primary processes in mercuryphotosensitized decompositions of hydrocarbons are under study utilizing the ethylene -C/sup 14/ scavenging technique. The photolysis of carbon tetrachloride was studied. Propane and butane formation was observed in addition to methane, ethane, ethylene, and acetylene when mixtures of methyl iodide and ethyl iodide were irradiated in the liquid phase. Primary steps in the radiolysis of i-propylbromide were investigated. Yields from radiolysis of deaerated aqueous isopropyl alcohol solutions are presented. (M.C.G.)
