Abstract
THE radiolysis of hydrocarbons adsorbed on silica gel was first investigated by Caffrey and Allen1 and later by Sutherland and Allen2, who found that the hydrogen yield was several times larger than that expected from the amount of energy absorbed directly by the hydrocarbon itself. In an attempt to investigate more thoroughly the role of the silica gel, we have studied tho radiolysis of cyclohexane-d12 adsorbed at low coverages on silica gel.
