Abstract
Attention is focused on that the phenomenon known as anti-inhibition in positronium chemistry is also observed in the radiolyses of liquids. In particular, the yield of radiolytic hydrogen from cyclohexane in the presence of molecular iodine increases when benzene is added to a cyclohexane solution. This effect is rationalized on the basis of the previously advanced idea on the similarity between the formation mechanisms of positronium and radiolytic hydrogen. The assumption that the enhancement of radiolytic hydrogen yield in aqueous nitrate or nitrite solutions taking place upon addition of Mn2+, Cov2+, Zn2+, etc. ions is also the manifestation of the anti-inhibition effect, which has been known neither for positronium nor for radiolytic hydrogen in polar media, is substantiated.
