| ß-Hydroxyethylperoxyl Radicals: A Study of the y-Radiolysis and Pulse Radiolysis of Ethylene in Oxygenated Aqueous Solutions  | | | | Abstract
| Hydroxyl radicals (and H atom s) generated in the radiolysis of N20-co n tain in g w ater add to ethylene forming /3-hydroxyethyl radicals (and ethyl radicals). In the presence of oxygen these are converted into the corresponding peroxyl radicals which decay bim olecularly (2 k — 2 x 108 M ~'s-1) as m easured by pulse radiolysis. The m ajor products (G values in brackets) are glycolaldehyde (3.3), form aldehyde (1.6), ethylene glycol (0.8), acetaldehyde (0.5), organic peroxidic m aterial (0.5), and hydrogen peroxide (2.4) (dose rate 0.26 Gy s-1, pH 5.6). A m aterial balance has been obtained with respect to the primary w ater radicals (6.0) and oxygen uptake (4.8). The products and their yields can be accounted for if in the rate determ ining step atetro x id e is form ed which decomposes via three m ajor pathways leading to; (i) H 20 2 and two m olecules of glycolaldehyde (ca. 45%), (ii) 0 2, glycolaldehyde and ethylene glycol (ca. 30%), and (iii) 0 2, two molecules of form aldehyde and two C H 2OH radicals (ca. 15%). A 1,2-H shift of interm ediate oxyl radicals is unim portant in this system. | | | |
