Abstract

Abstract The photochemical generation of elemental Br 2 from brominated methanes is reported. Br 2 was generated by the vaporization of carbon oxides and HBr through oxidative photodecomposition of brominated methanes under a 20 W low-pressure mercury lamp, wherein the amount and situations of Br 2 generation were photochemically controllable. Liquid CH 2 Br 2 can be used not only as an organic solvent but also for the ...
