Radicals produced during γ-irradiation of 1-substituted 5-amino-tetrazoles
Abstract
The 1-methyl site of alkyl substituted 5-aminotetrazoles was found to be the most susceptible to γ-irradiation. The main paramagnetic radicals formed were identified as CH3· and R–CH2·(R = substittuted 5-aminotetrazole). With a 5-nitraminotetrazole claeavage of the nitramino N–N bond, yielding an NO2· radical, was the major interaction.
