Abstract
An attempt to obtain reproducible product yields from gamma-irradiated deaerated methanol was unsuccessful.
Reproducible product yields were obtained from gamma-irradiated aerated methanol. In agreement with Hayon and Weiss no ethylene glycol was detected, either in wet or dry methanol. Choi and Lichtin later reported G(CH2OH)2 to be 0.1. It seems probable that ethylene glycol is formed almost entirely from the coupling of CH2OH radicals in bulk soution. [TRUNCATED]
