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.
