We report here experiments designed to answer ques-tions about the properties of radicals and the fate of charge carriers in 7-irradiated crystalline and polycrystalline alkanes. These questions, which are important to im-proved understanding of the radiation chemistry and solid state chemistry of these systems, include the following:(1) Is there a correlation between alkane chain length and radical yield?(2) What are the effects of phase on yield? When a compound can be obtained as either a glass or crystal at the same temperature, are the yields the same?(3) Why are the decay kinetics of radicals in polycrystalline hydrocarbons different (ie, stepwise with temperature) than in glassy hydrocarbons?(4) Does the photoinduced removal of a limited fraction of trapped radicals, which has been observed in some alkane glasses, also occur in polycrystalline alkanes?(5) Does photoisomerization of radicals and thermal reversal of the process without loss of radical concentration occur in crystalline hydrocarbons as it does in glasses?(6) Do radical populations which differ in their photoresponse differ in ESR saturation characteristics?(7) Does charge stabilization by carbanion formation occur in 7-irradiated crystalline hydrocarbons? These data have been sought against the background of earlier work on solid hydrocarbons which includes:(1) Evidence that the G values (radicals produced per 100 eV absorbed) of trappedradicals produced from aromatic compounds are more than tenfold lower than for radicals produced from alkanes or alkenes. 2 This has been interpreted2 as indicating that the probability of bond rupture is related to the energy of the lowest electronic excited state relative to the bond strength.(2) Evidence for intramolecular energy transfer from alkane side chains to aromatic groups, 3 for intermolecular energy transfer to solutes with resultant selective bond rupture in thesolute molecules, 4 and for transfer to toluene solute with subsequent luminescence from the toluene. 5 (3) G (R·) in glassy branched chain alkanes is uniformly lower (~ 3.0) than in polycrystalline n-alkanes (~ 5.0). 6a, b (4) G (R·) in deuterated glassy and polycrystalline hydrocarbons in uniformly 30% or more lower than in protiated hydro-carbons, 6ab and the localization of bond rupture is different in n-Ci0H22 than n-C10D22. 7(5) Different radicals are formed by 7 irradiation of different solid state phases of some compounds. 46 (6) Trapped hydrogen atoms are not formed by the 7 irradiation of hydrocarboncrystals and glasses, 66 other than CH4.(7) Optical absorption in the300-400-nm range, 8a, b photostimulated luminescence, 8c, d and photostimulated conductivity86· 5 indicate carbanion formation and photoionization in hydrocarbon glasses (8) Radicals produced by 7 radiolysis of hydrocarbon glasses show a relatively rapid time-dependent first-order decay (-~ 50%) resulting from intraspur radical-radical reaction and a slower second-order decay resulting from random encounters. 9 (9) Radicals produced by 7 irradi-ation of polycrystalline hydrocarbons undergo stepwise decay as the temperature is raised to successively higher temperatures, indicating selective softening of crystallites of different sizes, or radical trapping sites of different
