Abstract

It has been shown that organic halogen compounds completely decompose under the light of a xenon lamp. Decomposition products include hydrogen hah'de, free halogen, free carbon, carbon monoxide, gaseous hydrogen. The rate and completeness of the photo-decay depends on the nature of both the compound and the halogen. The minimum time of decay was observed for iodo-derivatives, the maximum for fluoro-derivatives. The rate of photo-decay was found to be considerably greater for coloured substances.
