Sm. Pimblott et al., RECONCILIATION OF TRANSIENT ABSORPTION AND CHEMICALLY SCAVENGED YIELDS OF THE HYDRATED ELECTRON IN RADIOLYSIS, Journal of physical chemistry, 100(22), 1996, pp. 9412-9415
The lung-standing discrepancy between the kinetics of the hydrated ele
ctron measured in pulse radiolysis experiments and the time dependent
decay inferred from the inverse Laplace transform of scavenger data is
resolved by the incorporation of all improved measurement of the rate
coefficient for the CH3Cl + e(aq)(-) reaction used in the inverse Lap
lace transform treatment. The revised analysis of both data types lead
s to the conclusion that the spatial distribution of secondary electro
ns produced in the energetic electron radiolysis of water is nearly tw
ice as wide as suggested by previous studies.
