Abstract

The lithium reagent used in the synthesis of benzene for ¹⁴C dating contributes insignificant ¹⁴C in high-precision measurements on 7 g benzene samples. Blank experiments on three different batches of lithium yielded small amounts of carbon, most of which probably originated as 'memory' in the reaction vessel.
