Abstract

The chemical behaviour of13N formed by the12C/d,n/13N reaction by recoil deuterons was studied in propionic acid-d6 irradiated at 195 to 295 K for 10 min in a reactor. The yields of13NH3 and H13NOx showed remarkable change with the phase change of the media from solid to liquid, i.e., the yield of13NH3 increased from 49.1±2.6 to 57.3±1.5% and that of H13NOx decreased from 28.9±1.8 to 20.4±1.9%. Based on the results, reaction mechanisms involved were argued as: /A/ formation of primary radicals, NH and HNO or NO, and /B/ subsequent reactions converting primary products to the final forms.
