Abstract

The solid-state free-radical chain reaction of chlorine with cyclopropane has been investigated with the use of pulsed UV laser photolysis and transmission FTIR spectroscopy. The photochemical quantum yield for an equimolar mixture of the two reagents prepared as a thin film by vapor deposition at 77 K is 52 i 8. Samples prepared at this temperature form the anti, anti conformer of 1, 3-dichloropropane as the initial reaction product, even when ...
