The effect of particle size of substrate and tritium gas pressure on the efficiency of Wilzbach tritiation of crystalline polycyclic hydrocarbons has been investigated. The hydrocarbons studied included naphthalene, biphenyl, phenanthrene, chrysene, pyrene, m- and p-terphenyls, and acridine. No simple relationship between ionization potential and tritium incorporation was observed. The effect of radical scavengers such as nitric oxide and moderators such as helium on the labelling process have been examined. Tritium incorporation in a polycyclic hydrocarbon is enhanced lf gas exposure occurs in the presence of benzoic acid. The results are discussed in terms of current theories proposed for tritium labelling based on gas-phase studies. In the condensed phase present data show that radical processes are important in Wilzbach labelling. This has been confirmed by a preliminary e.s.r. examination of naphthalene and anthracene in the presence of tritium gas.

The gas-phase photolysis of 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene has been investigated using krypton (123.6 nm) resonance radiation. The observed neutral products of the primary decomposition were vinylacetylene, ethylene, acetylene, methylacetylene, propylene, allene, 2-methy-1-buten-3-yne, pentatriene/1-penten-3-yne, 1,3-butadiene, 2-butyne and butatriene, listed in decreasing order of concentration. There was also evidence of the presence of several radical fragments: CH2/CH3, C2H3, C3H3, and C4H5. Quantum yields for each of the products were determined in the photolysis of 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene, performed both in the presence and the absence of additives. Nitric oxide and oxygen were employed as radical scavengers, while hydrogen sulfide and hydrogen iodide were used as radical interceptors. Twelve primary, neutral molecule, reaction channels were proposed and the quantum efficiency assigned for each. The ionization efficiency of 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene was established as n = 0.55 at 10.03 eV. No products formed exclusively via an ion–molecule pathway were identified and therefore the fate of the C5H8+ ion was not determined.

AbstractNitric oxide in cigarette smoke was conveniently determined by non-dispersive infrared analysis (NDIR). Recoveries of 95 % were obtained with standard gas-air mixtures but recoveries from smoke increased from 87% for high-yield to 91 % for low-yield cigarettes. Relative error was about 4 %. A reduction in the dead volume of Cambridge filter cassettes, to reduce the amount of NO reacted between puffs, increased NO deliveries of cigarettes by 4%. Deliveries of NO were estimated to average 4 % lower due to oxidation, but reaction with other smoke components reduced them further depending upon concentrations. The NO deliveries of cigarettes increased as blend nitrate increased and as the flow of air around cigarettes decreased. Nitric oxide in smoke and in standard gas-air mixtures, determined by non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) spectroscopy, was substantiated by an automated colorimetric analysis. Interfering smoke species were determined and circumvented in both methods.

A study has been made of the effect of the surface-to-volume ratio of the reaction vessel and of coatings of various inorganic substances on the vessel walls on the gas-phase oxidation of methanol catalysed by nitric oxide. The results show that, whereas packing the vessel does not have a marked effect on the rate, the kinetics of the reaction are profoundly influenced by the nature of the surface. The results suggest that the methanol-oxidation chains are initiated at the surface by reaction between methanol and nitrogen dioxide, and that HO2 radicals play an important role in the subsequent chain reaction.
