Abstract

AX+ B-+ A+ BX in which an atom X is transferred from one reaction center to another. Such a process, normally induced by photolysis, may involve the intermediacy of the free X atom or it may proceed via the photolysis of a complex formed by the parent molecules, as in the reactions between ozone and PF3, 1 AsF3, 1 or ICL2 The method admits the possibility of reactions involving atoms in electronically excited as well as ground states, eg
