Ion Molecule reactions and Radiation Chemistry

The basic principles of the stationary radiolysis of gases are described. Results are reviewed for a no. of gas-phase pos. ion-mol. reaction and discussed by contrasting their behavior relative to that of analogous processes in soln. Recent applications of the radiolytic technique to the investigation of the chemo-, regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivity of gas-phase pos. ion-mol. reactions are presented.
