REACTIONS OF IODINE ACTIVATED BY RADIATIVE NEUTRON CAPTURE AND ISOMERIC TRANSITION WITH GASEOUS AND CONDENSED STATE POLYHALOMETHANES
Abstract
Nuclear transformations produce species that permit the study of high energy chemical interactions over a wide range of reactant energies that may be consider- ably greater than the minimum activation energies attained in thermal reactions. All nuclear activation yields product atoms which initially have high kinetic energy or electrical charge or both. Nuclear processes that have been successfully employed in studies of high energy chemical reactions are (p,n), (n,2n), (n,p), (n,Y), and (IT). One of the most commonly employed nuclear acti- vations is radiative neutron capture, (n,r), requiring a nuclear reactor, neutron generator, or other neutron source. The extensive use of this process is due to the relative availability of neutrons; the relative ease of using them under conditions where radiation damage and temperature effects are not serious; favorable cross sections for the (n,Y) process; and the fact that the (n,Y) process is capable of producing a number of radio- active species with chemical properties which are partic- ularly suitable for the studies of interest.
