Chemical States of ¹³N Resulting from the Nuclear Reaction ¹⁴Ν (n, 2n)¹³N

Abstract

Hot atom chemistry /Nitrogen-13 compounds /Nitrobenzene Experimental AbstractThe distribution of ' 3 Ν resulting from the nuclear reaction 14 N(n, 2n) I3 N in individual chemical forms of nitrogen has been investigated. The yield of 13 N in the form NH+, CN~, N0 3 , and Νj as well as the retention of 13 Ν in the organic phase after irradiation of nitrogenous organic compounds by 14 MeV neutrons have been measured. A dependence of the 13 N yield in the mentioned fractions on the type of the nitrogen bond in the organic molecule has been determined. Within a temperature range from -196°C to 100°C no remarkable changes in the distribution of 13 Ν in individual chemical forms have been observed.
