The self-induced exchange of tritium with the dihalogenated aromatic compounds o-and m-chloroiodobenzene, o-chlorobromobenzene, and o-bromoiodobenzene was studied as a function of the amount of T2 present and exposure time. A smooth correlation exists between the rate with which chlorine, iodine, bromine, and hydrogen were exchanged and the bond energies involved. A mechanism involving organic radicals is proposed to explain the results. Since the incoming tritium atom occupies the same position as the replaced halogen, preferentially the weaker bonded atom, the method can be used to prepare specifically labeled products of high specific T activity.
