Abstract

ESR spectra for γ-irradiated at 77 K solutions /0.02–16%/ of tetramethylurea /TMU/ in CFCl3 and Freon-113 have been studied. TMU+. radical cations radiolytically produced in dilute solutions have been shown to undergo intramolecular hydrogen transfer upon photobleaching resulting in CH2N= type radical. Evidence for intermolecular proton transfer in TMU+. radical cations after annealing to phase transition temperature /110–120 K/ in Freon-113 was obtained. Primary radical cations of TMU+. at their ground state take part in ion-molecular reaction via proton transfer. Molecular cations in their excited states may undergo fragmentation producing Me2N radicals, which were trapped in liquid phase by t-BuNO as a spin trap.
