Pulse radiolysis of polystyrene in cyclohexane - Effect of carbon tetrachloride on kinetic dynamics of dimer radical cation−

Slow formations of polystyrene dimer radical cation through electron transfer quenching of polystyrene excimer as observed upon the addition of 10-100 mM CCl4 by pulse radiolysis. The electron transfer quenching led to an increase of the free ion yield (∼20%).
