AbstiactReactions of recoil "Q in mixtures of CaHa, and CjHaj and C^Q« with hydrocarbons, alcohols, amines and anisole are studied. The yields are enhanced in mixtures upto about 10 mol % of the additive. Direct hot replacement and addition-elimination reactions in an excited solvent cage seem to account the yields in C,a,. The model developed by Urch has been used to calculate the reactivity Parameters. The organic yields in mixtures of CjQ, with hydrocarbons and alcohols arise mainly from hot-zone reactions while the same conclusion could not be drawn in case of CjHQj mixtures.
ExperimentalTrichloroethylene (E-Merck) and tetrachloroethylene (BDH) of reagent grade were distilled and used. Samples of the mixtures in soft glass vials were irradiated by neutrons from ^"Cf and '"Sb/Be sources for 30 and60min respectively. FoUowing irradiation, organic and aqueous layers were separated as described [21 a], ^'Cl activity was counted on a Nal(Tl) scintillation coimter.
