Abstract:
Pulse radiolysis of aqueous methylhydrazine solutions under different conditions was studied. The main characteristic peaks in these transient absorption spectra were attributed and the build-up/decay trends of several transient species were investigated. The reaction product of •OH radical and methylhydrazine is CH
