Abstract

Alkyl radicals formed in low-pressure radiofrequency plasmas were identified by gas chromatography using iodine as a scavenger compound. Iodine vapours, injected into the glowing plasma discharge, reacted with active radicals in the gas phase, yielding various saturated alkyl iodides, that were trapped by freezing in an organic solvent and analyzed on Apiezon L and Carbowax 20M columns. Analyses carried out at different temperatures permitted the retention times and indices to be measured and the relative molar heats of solution to be calculated.
