Studies of the g tensor of the singlet in x-irradiated succinic acid suggest that this line is due to the CO2− radical ion. Temperature-variation studies indicate that this CO2− fragment arises from the decomposition of the anionic species [HOOCCH2CH2COOH]− which appears to be formed in the initial radiation-damage process. A mechanism rationalizing the ESR data on all irradiated carboxylic acids is proposed.
