Free radicals formed from (1- and 2-chloroethyl) benzene in γ-irradiated organic matrices were studied with a fluroescence spectrophotometer. The observed spectra suggest the transformation of phenetyl radical primarily formed from (2-chloroethyl)benzene to α-methyl-benzyl radical and indicate interaction between the α-methylbenzyl radical, formed from both (1- and 2-chloroethyl)benzene, and chloride anion before complete dissociation.
