Abstract The fact was established that the pyrolysis of gaseous iodomethanes RI yields methane and non traces of recombination products R2. A pyrolysis mechanism was proposed and rate constants of limiting stages of the pyrolysis of iodomethane, trideuteroiodomethane, and diiodomethane over the range of 500–1500 K were determined.
