Iodine production induced by gamma radiolysis was measured for solutions of methyl iodide in cyclohexane and ethyl iodide in cyclohexane, over the concentration range 0--95% cyclohexane by volume. In each case the addition of cyclohexane caused a smooth decrease in iodine production from the alkyl iodide, but net iodine production persisted until at least 93 electron% cyclohexane was added. The observations are discussed in terms of a previously proposed mechanism.
