Abstract
The effect of irradiation temperature on the yields of radiolysis and scavenging products from methanol and methanol–benzene solutions has been examined over the temperature range + 110° to –196°. The temperature-dependence of the yield of the radiolysis products is generally small. The results have been examined in terms of current theories of radiation chemistry including the hot-species model and the thermal-spike concept. The yields of the scavenging products cyclohexa-1,4-diene, anisole, and phenylcyclohexadiene display an inverse temperature-dependence, while the yield of cyclohexadienylmethanol displays a complex temperature-dependence. The results, particularly for the hydrogen and cyclohexa-1,4-diene yields, appear to demonstrate a direct relationship between the decrease in hydrogen yield and yield of cyclohexa-1,4-diene from methanol containing any initial benzene concentration.
