Abstract

The C1-atom-initiated oxidation of CzHsCl has beem investigated at 295 K using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The observed products are HCl, COz, CHsCOCl, HCHO, CO, CHsOH, HCOOH, CH300H, CH, C (O) OOH, and CHZCICHO. The yields of HCl and CO2 per CzHsCl consumed are surprisingly high,(1 57 f 6)% and (53 f 5)%, and are constant over the CZHsCl consumption range of 3-1 5%. To rationalize these results, we ...
