The ultraviolet absorption spectra of the transient species formed during the pulse radiolysis of styrene and peroxydisulfate (S2O82)solutions showed that a benzyl-type radical was formed from styrene and the SO4- radical. The effect of adding Cl- was also studied. These results are in conflict with the claim1 that a phenylethyl radical was formed from SO4-' via the styrene cation radical. That study was made on acetonitrile solutions of styrene, S2O82-, CuCl2 and LiCl and the present results suggest that up to 70% of the SO4-' radicals may have been converted into Cl2-1 radical which then reacted with styrene.

The pulse radiolysis of aqueous solutions of selenomethionine has been studied under both neutral and acid conditions and the transient optical absorption spectra have been observed. The reactivities of both eāq and OH radicals have been measured as well as the formation and the decay kinetics of the transient species.

The absorption spectra of the ferric ion and its first hydrolysis product in an aqueous solution of perchloric acid was determined. The Fe3+ ion has two absorption bands, one with a maximum at 240 mμ and another which extends into the region below 200 mμ. The FeOH2+ ion also has two absorption bands, the maxima of which occur at 300 mμ and 205 mμ. A figure shows the magnitude of the absorption of each of these ions from 200 to 350 mμ.


The reactions of the hydrated electron, e — aq. with a variety of inorganic metal ions, complex metal ions and anions have been investigated with pulses of 4 MeV electrons. Absolute rate constants have been measured in each case and some temperature coefficients have also been determined. Absorption spectra of transient species produced by the pulse have been obtained. Some of these species are unstable valency states produced by reduction withe — aq. , e.g. Ni + , Cr v ; others are the result of oxidation by OH, e.g. Cu 3+ . We have obtained rate constants for the reactions OH+Cu 2+ and H+MnO - 4 . The significance of the rate constants and spectra is discussed.

The absorption spectra of transient species produced when dilute aqueous solutions of N-vinylpyrrolidin-2-one (vp) and poly(N- vinylpyrrolidin-2-one) (pvp) are subjected to pulse radiolysis in the presence and absence of radical scavengers have been obtained and compared with those obtained from analogous compounds. The precise structure of the transients has not been established. Rate constants for the reaction of the hydroxyl radical with vp and pvp have been evaluated both by a competition kinetic method and by direct observation of the build-up of transient species: k(vp+·OH) = (6.4-8.1) × 109 dm3 mol-1 s-1 and k(pvp+·OH) = (1.5-2.3) × 108 dm3 mol-1 s-1 at 25°C. The rate constant for the reaction of the hydrated electron with vp has been determined as(1.6�0.3) × 109 dm3 mol-1 s-1 at 25°C. Rate constants for decay of the transient species have also been evaluated at 25°C: 2k(vp- OH·) = (8.1�1.0)× 108 dm3 mol-1 s-1; 2k(vp-e-) = (1.7�0.2) × 109 dm3 mol-1 s-1 and 2k(pvp-OH·) = (1.5�0.2) × 108 dm3 mol-1 s-1.
