Abstract:
Exposure of dilute solutions of CH3CCCH3 in CC12FCC1F2 and related solvents to ionizing radiation at 77 K produced the radical cation (CH3CCCH3)+. On annealing, these were initiallycpnverted into the corresponding dimer cation, c-C4(CH3)4+, which subsequently decomposed to give the propargyl radical
