Chemical effects of the decay of sulfur-35 incorporated into butylthiol molecules

Abstract

The chemical effects of the decay of³⁵S incorporated into doubly labelled molecules of primary and secondary butylthiols have been studied. The final products, viz.¹⁴C₄H₉Cl-1 and¹⁴C₄H₉Cl-2 were detected by radiometric method. It has been established that in the gas phase about 60% of primary molecular ions are stabilized in form of butyl chlorides. In presence of the water vapour the yield of butyl chlorides increases to about 90%.
