Exchange Reaction Between Alkyl Iodides and $II^{131}$ in the Photolysis of Alkyl Iodides in Hydrocarbon

炭化水素內에서의 Alkyl Iodides의 光分解에서 $II^{131}$과 Alkyl Iodides 間의 交換反應

The rate of exchange of I atom between alkyl iodides(ethyl or methyl iodide) and $I_2$ in n-hexane have been determined using $II^{131}$. It is found that the escape of $CH_3$ radicals from a solvent cage is faster than $C_2H_5$ radicals and that photolysis of $C_2H_5I$ is almost identical to that in the case of $CH_3I$.
