Abstract
The chemical behaviour of excited halomethyl radicals, produced through photolysis of several polyhalomethanes, has been investigated in the gas phase at room temperature. It has been demonstrated that the radicals are extremely reactive in atom abstraction reactions, and the relative probability of H atom transfer and energy transfer, in collisions of excited CCl3 radicals with hydrocarbons, has been estimated. It is proposed that reactions involving the CCl radical play a major role in the photodecomposition of CHCl2Br.Keywords
