Abstract
ALTHOUGH ionization reactions represent one of the most important processes in the interaction of radiation with matter, relatively little interest has been shown in reactions involving ionic species with the exception of the ion-molecule reactions recently much discussed1. Since ionization is one of the most important processes in the interaction of radiation with matter, it is felt that a study of reactions possibly involving ionic intermediates may provide a most interesting and perhaps fruitful area of radiation research. One such system appears to be the exchange reaction induced by radiation between diethyl sulphate and radioactive sulphate ion, where any appreciable formation of diethyl sulphate-35S may conceivably require C2H5 + as an intermediate.
