Stabilization of Hydrated Electrons in Irradiated Frozen Sugar Solutions

W. R. Elliott 1

1 Physics Research Laboratory, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston 02114

Yields of free radicals in irradiated aqueous solutions of saccharides at 77°K are larger and qualitatively different from those observed in the components alone. In addition, a blue color results only with the solution. The mechanism proposed to explain the observations is the stabilization of hydrated electrons by the solute.
