Gas phase radiolysis and vacuum ultraviolet photolysis of heterocyclic organic compounds. Progress report, February 1, 1974--February 1, 1975

The long-range objective of our research group is to gain a better understanding of the processes by which complex organic molecules react when they absorb large amounts of energy. This progress report describes the results of our recent work in three areas: diradicals derived from heterocyclic compounds; trimethylene diradicals from various sources; and ion-molecule reactions.
