Abstract

Rate constants for the reaction of muonium with benzene in water, methanol and n-hexane and for the reaction of muonium with p-difluorobenzene, anilin, hexafluorobenzene and styrene are reported. All rate constants are below the calculated diffusion controlled limit. The activation energy for the reaction of muonium with benzene in n-hexane is very small, indicating the possibility of tunnelling by muonium.
