Radiolysis of Potassium Picrate in 77 K

The formation of paramagnetic centers in potassium picrate under irradiation at low temperature was investigated. The heating irradiated at 77 K potassium picrate crystal to room temperature results in paramagnetic centers - 2,6-dinitro-para-quinone radicals, ortho- and para-iminoxyl radicals and atomic oxygen. These products are formed under irradiation at room temperature
