Abstract
The radiation chemistry of pure O2 and H2O free chloroform was investigated. The only products formed were HCl, CH2Cl2, 1,1,2-trichloroethane, 1,1,2,2-tetra-chloroethane, pentachloroethane, hexachloroethane, and tetrachloro-ethylene. The G values of formation for all these products were determined as well as its depenence on total dose. A mechanism is derived accounting for the experimental facts and based on the known bond energies. The use of the biallyl-chloroform system as a dosimeter is described.Keywords
