    Application of Mass Spectral Data to the Radiolysis of Propan-2-ol
    (Journal of the Chemical Society : Faraday Transaction - I. The Chemical Society, London. 1974, 70 (1-6), 1974) Basson, Rocco A.; van der Linde, H. J.
    The yields of the products in the γ-radiolysis of propan-2-ol are reported in the absence and presence of solutes. These yields are correlated with those calculated from a modified mass spectral fragmentation scheme in which all primary fragmentations are intensified at the expense of their further fragments. Good agreement between the experimental and calculated yields is found.

    Telomerization of Ethylene and Aliphatic Alcohols Induced by y-Rays
    (Journal of the Chemical Society : Faraday Transaction - I. The Chemical Society, London. 1974, 70 (1-6), 1974) Wyk, Lourens van; Basson, Rocco A.
    The radiolysis products of ethylene in methanol, propan-1-ol, propan-2-ol, butan-1-ol, butan-2-ol, 2-methylpropan-2-ol and 2-methylpropan-1-ol have been determined. The present results are in agreement with polymerization studies in so far that the transfer efficiency of the various alcohols varies remarkably. From these results, it is shown that the yield of telomers is proportional to the transfer efficiency of the alcohols.
