The following radicals have been identified in the liquid phase ..gamma.. radiolysis of several nitriles by spin trapping with phenyl tert-butyl nitrone: CH/sub 2/CN in acetonitrile, H and CH/sub 3/CHCN(question) in propionitrile, CH(CN)/sub 2/ in malononitrile, and H, CN, and CH/sub 2/CH/sub 2/CN in succinonitrile. ..gamma.. proton splittings are observed for the CH/sub 2/CN and CH(CH)/sub 2/ spin adducts. The results are discussed in comparison with solid phase radiolysis data and with alkyl radical spin adduct splittings.
