Radiolysis of liquid vinyl iodide by 60Co γ-rays
Abstract
The 60Co γ-irradiation of pure liquid vinyl iodide yields the following products, the corresponding G values being given in brackets: hydrogen (0.077), acetylene (3.89), ethylene (1.46), 1,3-butadiene (0.15), hydrogen iodide (0.63), iodine (2.48), and also two minor non-identified compounds. There is no formation of polymers even after prolonged irradiation.
