THE SZILARD-CHALMERS REACTION IN BROMOETHANE

Journal Article · · J. Inorg. & Nuclear Chem.
Analyses of the radioactive products resulting from the capture of thermal neutrons in bromoethane--bromine mixtures were made by using gas chromatographic techniques. Most of the high energy products can be accounted for by reactions involving the radio-bromine atom and a single molecule of bromoethane to form a dibromoethane molecule or a dibromoethyl radical. The reactions of the latter indicate that there is a close correlation between the organic radicals and inorganic species present in the thermal zone. This is inconsistent with the initial formation of a large number of radicals. (auth)
