Like e<sub>TPA</sub><sup>−</sup> absorbs in the I.R. with a peak at 1.6 μm. In contrast with e<sub>3MP</sub><sup>−</sup>, e<sub>TPA</sub><sup>−</sup> is not bleached by 1.9 μm light, has a narrower absorption band, and exhibits a broader E.S.R. singlet with <em>ΔH</em><sub><em>ms</em> = 6.6 G</sub>. At 72K, the 100 eV yield, <em>G</em>(e<sub>TPA</sub><sup>−</sup>), increases with increase in TPA concentration and has the value 1.3 at 10<sup>−2</sup> mol dm<sup>−3</sup> TPA while <em>G</em>(e<sub>3MP</sub><sup>−</sup> decreases from 0.4 in neat 3MP to 0.1 at 10<sup>−2</sup> mol dm<sup>−3</sup> TPA. Gamma irradiation of an ethanol glass containing TPA at 77K does not produce an infrared absorption but produces peaks at 440 and 410nm in addition to the trapped-electron peak at 540nm. The peaks at 440 and 410nm are attributed to TPA<sup>−</sup> because absorbance at these peaks increases with increase in TPA concentration and that at 540nm decreases. The totality of the results for alcohol and 3-MP glasses suggests that e<sub>TPA</sub><sup>−</sup> is an electron in a trap similar to that of e<sub>3MP</sub><sup>−</sup> but modified by the presence of a TPA molecule whose positive nitrogen end is oriented toward the electron.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100688,"journal":{"name":"International Journal for Radiation Physics and Chemistry","volume":"8 5","pages":"Pages 589-593"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1976-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0020-7055(76)90027-9","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90536551","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
