N2  - The optical absorptions of the transient species formed by the reactions of the primary radiolysis products of water (eaq-, &#183;H, and &#183;OH) with styrene were measured. There are large differences between the various literature estimates for these reaction pathways. Most of the eaq- and H and about 50% of the OH react with the unsaturated vinyl side chain to give the &#945;-methylbenzyl and hydroxy-substituted methylbenzyl radical respectively. The remaining OH reacts with the aromatic ring to give hydroxy(vinyl)cyclohexadienyl radicals.
