Radiolysis of Cyclohexane + Benzene Mixtures at Liquid Nitrogen Temperature by Cobalt-60 γ-Rays

Abstract

THE discovery by Manion and Burton1 of the inhibiting properties of benzene in the radiolysis of cyclohexane + benzene mixture has given rise to numerous investigations on this system in both liquid and gas phase2–4. The results obtained show that the hampering of radiolysis may be explained by the energy transfer from cyclohexane to benzene and that the mechanism of this process is similar in liquid and gas phase.
