TLDR
In this article, the super-Fricke dosimeter was used as a secondary standard for the thiocyanate dosimeter in O2-saturated water and the results were improved to 3.47 ± 0.06.
Abstract
The thiocyanate dosimeter (10–2 mol dm–3 SCN– in O2-saturated water) has been standardised against the super-Fricke dosimeter (10–2 mol dm–3 FeII in O2-saturated 0.4 mol dm–3 H2SO4) using the hexacyanoferrate(II) dosimeter [5 × 10–3 mol dm–3 Fe(CN)64– in O2-saturated water] as a secondary standard. On the basis that G(FeIII)= 1.67 × 10–6 mol J–1 and IµFeIII= 220.4 m2 mol–1 at 304 nm and 25 °C in the super-Fricke dosimeter, we obtain GIµ[Fe(CN)63–]=(3.47 ± 0.06)× 10–5 m2 J–1 at 420 nm and GIµ(SCN)2˙–=(2.59 ± 0.05)× 10–4 m2 J–1 at 475 nm. These values remain unchanged when the solutions are saturated with air instead of O2 and are doubled in N2O-saturated solution.

The radiation chemistry of iodophenolsThe research described herein was supported in part by the Office of Basic Energy Sciences of the Department of Energy. This is contribution No. NDRL 4019 from the Notre Dame Radiation Laboratory.

TL;DR: The technique of pulsed electron radiolysis has been used to determine absolute rate constants for the reaction of the hydrated electron, hydroxyl radical and hydrogen atom with ortho-, meta-and para-iodophenol in aqueous solution as mentioned in this paper.

Properties of the OH Adducts of Hydroxy-, Methyl-, Methoxy-, and Amino-Substituted Pyrimidines: Their Dehydration Reactions and End-Product Analysis

TL;DR: In this article, the second-order rate constants of the reaction of hydroxyl radicals (•OH) with 2-amino-4-methyl pyrimidine (AMP), ADMP, DMHP, DMU, and 5,6-dimethyl uracil (DMU) were studied by pulse radiolysis and steady-state radiolyisation techniques at different pH values.

Assessing the contribution of hydroxylation species in the photochemical transformation of primidone (pharmaceutical).

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that primidone can not only react with free HO but also react with lower-energy hydroxylation agents (HO-like) and that dissolved oxygen can affect the degradation rate of PMD by promoting HO formation.

Yield for the scavenging of hydroxyl radicals in the radiolysis of nitrous oxide-saturated aqueous solutions

TL;DR: In this article, the thiocyanate dosimeter was calibrated against the Fricke system to obtain a value of 46,400 +-600 (molecules/100 eV) for the product of yield and extinction coefficient of (SCN)/sub 2/O-saturated solutions.

Track effects in radiation chemistry. Concentration dependence for the scavenging of hydroxyl by ferrocyanide in nitrous oxide-saturated aqueous solutions

TL;DR: In this paper, the radiation chemical yield for oxidation of ferrocyanide by OH produced in the fast electron radiolysis of N/sub 2/O-saturated aqueous solutions was found to increase from a low concentration limiting yield of 5.2 to values in excess of 6.7.
