Radiochemical analysis of ions in hydrocarbons

Summary

This study is concerned with hydrocarbons in which by chemical means a high level of electrical conductivity has been obtained. By means of chemisorption of radioactively labeled organic components and metal atoms present it may be established whether these components form part of the cation or the anion. Thus by suitably selecting the components, the composition of the ions may be obtained. In the present study ion-exchange resins and certain metals such as copper and magnesium were used as ionic adsorbers. Carbon 14 labeled benzoic acid and cobalt 60 labeled cobalt chloride were used as components. In the particular system under study, the cation is formed essentially of the organic compound containing a carbonyl; in the absence of dissolved metal this is probably an oxonium ion, in the presence of dissolved metal a metal-complex cation. The anion in that system also contains the organic compound, possibly as an enolate ion.
