Benzene-14C1 from the Neutron Irradiation of the Clathrate with Ammoniacal Nickel Cyanide

Nature volume 176, pages 831–832 (1955)Cite this article

Abstract

THE use of in situ production of compounds containing carbon-14 by the neutron irradiation of nitrogen-containing organic compounds or mixtures of nitrogen-containing compounds with organic compounds for the synthesis of labelled organic compounds has been suggested by recent work on this subject1,2. The neutron irradiation of the clathrate of ammoniacal nickel cyanide and benzene was reported on by M. Zifferero3 in Genoa last year. We have carried out an irradiation of this compound to provide data for comparison and to test a purification method for labelled compounds produced in this way.
