Abstract
Mixtures of methanol and isopropanol in a ratio (v/v) varying from 9∶1 to 1∶9 have been gamma-irradiated at 77 K and relative yields of trapped electrons have been measured. The reactivity of the trapped electrons towards acetone and uranyl nitrate has been studied at various methanol isopropanol ratios. On the basis of the results, an attempt has been made to assess the relative importance of the reaction of the electron with the solute prior to trapping with respect to the tunnelling reaction of the trapped electron with the solute.
