We have utilized thermalized 38Cl atoms from the neutron irradiation of CC1F36J1 for evaluation of relative reaction rate constants for CzH, and C2H6 vs. a common competitor, CHz= CHBr. a The energetic radioactive chlorine atoms formed in the 37Cl (n, y) 38Cl nuclear reaction are moderated to thermal energies by multiple collisions with CClF, present in great excess and then react with the competitive substrate Vinyl bromide was chosen as ...
