Abstract

In earlier work, 2 it was shown that the pyrolysis of octachlorocyclopentene yields hexachlorocyclopentadiene, chlorine and small amounts of hexachlorobenzene. It has been reported3 that both hexachloroethane and octachloropropane give carbon tetrachloride and tetrachloroethylene on thermal decomposition. Carbon tetrachloride and tetrachloroethylene have been reported4 as being highly stable.
