Abstract
The effects of vitamins B1, B2, and B6 and pyridoxal phosphate on the formation of the final radiolysis products of aqueous ethanol and ethylene glycol solutions were studied. It was found that vitamin B2 and pyridoxal phosphate effectively oxidize R·CHOH species to suppress their recombination and fragmentation reactions, thereby increasing the yields of corresponding oxidation products. Vitamins B1 and B6 are capable of reducing alcohol radicals to the parent molecules and, hence, decreasing the yields of the main radiolysis products.
