The mercury photosensitized (Hg3P1) decomposition of olefins has been examined using a reactor coupled directly to a mass spectrometer. The primary split of ethylene has been shown to be predominantly molecular, and that of propylene mainly into an allyl radical and a hydrogen atom. With 1-butene the split is predominantly at a C–C bond giving allyl and methyl radicals, although a rupture of a C–H bond occurs as well. With 2-butene and isobutene a C–H bond is broken. It is concluded that the allyl and methallyl radicals produced have large cross sections for reaction with excited mercury atoms.


Cross-sections are calculated for the elastic collisions of slow positrons by hydrogen atom s by the use of an approximation in which virtual positronium production and polarization of the atom by the positron are allowed for, the latter by the method of polarized orbitals. The coupled integro-differential equations involved are solved by electronic computation. Very satisfactory results are obtained as judged by comparison with other methods.
