Abstract
Abstract Some experiments have been made in order to prove the hypothesis that the hydroxyl radical plays an important role in the oxidation of organic compounds by γ-radiolysis in aqueous solutions. Nitrous oxide and hydrogen peroxide have been found to be capable of converting radiation-induced hydrogen atoms (or their stoichiometrically-equivalent species) into hydroxyl radicals. In theγ-radiolysis of aqueous benzene solutions in the presence of nitrous oxide or hydrogen peroxide, the yield of the oxidation products from benzene has been found to equal, as had been expected, the sum of the yields of hydrogen atoms and hydroxyl radicals from water.
