Review: Self-radiolysis of compounds containing tritium and carbon-14.

Energy released from beta emission causes molecules that incorporate tritium (3 H) and carbon-14 (14 C) atoms to be less stable than their stable labeled counterparts, thus making radiolabeled compounds prone to self-radiolysis. This literature review examines the stability of organic compounds incorporating 3 H and 14 C atoms and discusses stability of the compound with respect to functional groups within the radiolabeled molecules. The goal of this paper is to serve as a reference for the stability of radiolabeled compounds. © 2021 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
