Two seemingly unrelated phenomena in liquid hydrocarbons have similar trends in their dependences upon the molecular structure of the hydrocarbon. The phenomena are the annihilation half-life of triplet positronium and the radiolysis free ion yield. In n-alkanes the effect of increasing the molecular chain length, upon both phenomena, appears to be simply to increase the density of interacting sites. Branching the alkane chain decreases the strength of molecular interaction with both electrons and positronium, although the relative decrease is much greater for the former than for the latter. The effects of double bonds on the phenomena, after separating out the density effect, are different from each other.

The correlation between the thermal electron mobility, μe, the radiation-induced free-ion yield Gfi at zero applied electric field, and the most probable thermalization distance b of secondary electrons, is examined for 52 different pure non-polar dielectric liquids for which data have been reported in the literature. It is shown that, in liquids for which μe > 10−1 cm2 V−1 s−1, the variation of Gfi with μe is well represented by a relation of the type [Formula: see text] where n ≈ 0.31. The connection between Gfi and μe can be described through the product εsb, where εs is the static dielectric constant of the intervening liquid. In particular, 1/εsb is shown to correlate with both μe and Gfi. Analysis of these correlations allows us to estimate an upper limit of μe that can be attained in a room-temperature dielectric liquid, information of utmost importance from the point of view of application to liquid ionization detectors.
