Abstract

Thermal decompition of C1N3 by pulsed C 0 2 laser pyrolysis has been investigated by using SF, as a sensitizer. The electronically excited decomposition products, NCl (a) and NCl (b), were monitored by absolute time-resolved emission spectroscopy while CIN3 was followed by ultraviolet absorption. The results indicate a higher barrier to dissociation of CIN, than FN3, consistent with ab initio calculations, and an NCl (a) yield of order unity, based ...
