Abstract
Radiolysis of aqueous solutions of diisopropyl and methyl tert-butyl ethers under γ-irradiation has been studied. The effect of pH on the products yield has been investigated. It has been shown that the rate constants of ether radicals hydrolysis are ~109 times higher than these of ether molecules in acidic as well as basic medium.
