High energy halogen atom reactions activated by nuclear transformations

The stereochemistry of high energy F-18,Cl-34m and Br-76 substitution reactions involving enantiomeric molecules in the gas and condensed phase was studied. The gas to condensed state transition in halogen high energy chemistry, involving chlorine, bromine, and iodine activated by the (n,y) and (I.T.) processes in halomethanes, saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons was investigated in more detail. Special attention was given to defining the nature of the enhancement yields in the condensed phase. High energy halogen reactions in liquid and frozen aqueous solutions of organic and biomolecular solutes were studied in an attempt to learn more about these reactions.
