N2  - The ultraviolet absorption spectra of the transient species formed during the pulse radiolysis of styrene and peroxydisulfate (S2O82)solutions showed that a benzyl-type radical was formed from styrene and the SO4- radical. The effect of adding Cl- was also studied. These results are in conflict with the claim1 that a phenylethyl radical was formed from SO4-' via the styrene cation radical. That study was made on acetonitrile solutions of styrene, S2O82-, CuCl2 and LiCl and the present results suggest that up to 70% of the SO4-' radicals may have been converted into Cl2-1 radical which then reacted with styrene.
