Abstract
The γ-radiolysis of eleven carboxylic acids at cryogenic temperatures has been examined by e.s.r. and matrix isolation techniques. Radical-anions RĊOOH– were identified in all the acids examined except cyclopropane carboxylic acid, and their reactions studied. The main features of the radiolysis may be interpreted by means of a mechanism similar to that proposed earlier for acetic acid.
