“…One striking feature of iodine reactions was that yields and product distributions of 130 I and 128 I activated by (IT) and (η, γ) processes, respectively, were similar to yields and analogous product distributions of 82 Br activated by (IT) events in cyclohexane and other C 5 -C e hydrocarbons [3,4]. The likeness between l;o I, 128 I and 82 Br yields and product distributions suggest that activated halogens may trace chemical processes which result from a similarity of environmental activation and/or decomposition [4,5]. The study of iodine reactions in various halogen substituted methanes is interesting because these mono-carbon compounds, containing, in some cases, no carbon-hydrogen bonds, present environments to the activated iodine that are highly dissimilar to hydrocarbons with respect to bond energies, molecular dimensions, and stability of potential products.…”
