Abstract

The ESR spectra of γ-irradiated, at −196 °C, solutions of acetic acid and acetic anhydride were studied depending on their concentrations in CFCl3. The structure of thus produced radical cations is confirmed with the deuterium substituted analogues. It has been shown that the ion-molecular reaction of the radical cation CH2COOH+ in the isolated dimer takes place for the dilute solutions of acetic acid in CFCl3 resulting in the formation of CH3COO follwed by its decomposition to CH3+CO2 while the radicals CH2COOH are formed via secondary processes. The reactions of radical cations of acetic oxide have been also studied.
