Abstract
AbstractThe photolysis of carbon tetrachloride in the presence of a number of alkanes has been investigated in the gas phase. The products obtained from the photolysis experiments were those expected from a chain reaction in which trichloromethyl radicals abstract hydrogen atoms from the alkane. The data have been used to determine Arrhenius parameters for hydrogen abstraction from the series of alkanes CH4, C2H6, C3H8, and i‐C4H10 by trichloromethyl radicals, magnified image The rate data obtained are used to explain why termination reactions involving alkyl radicals become less significant as the alkane becomes more complex.
