Gamma radiation induced formation of ICl in aerated and deaerated solutions of iodine in some aromatic chlorinated solvents has been studied for different concentrations and γ dosages. G values for formation of ICl and decomposition of I 2 were determined in gamma radiolysis of aerated and deaerated solutions of I 2 in 1,2-dichlorobenzene(1,2-DCB), 1,3-dichlorobenzene(1,3-DCB), 2-chlorotoluene, 3-chlorotoluene and benzotrichloride. G(ICl) values have been found to decrease in the following order 2-chlorotoluene < 3-chlorotoluene < 1,2-DCB < 1,3-DCB < benzotrichloride. G(ICl) is slightly higher in aerated solutions than in deaerated solutions and is found to be dependent on the structure of the parent organic molecule.
