Abstract
AbstractThe liquid phase photolysis of tetrachloroethylene in cyclohexane has been investigated. The primary process is the dissociation of tetrachloroethylene into C2Cl3 radicals and chlorine atoms. The main product (formed by a chain mechanism) is trichlorovinylcyclohexane and the chain carrying species are chlorine atoms. Other products include cyclohexyl chloride, dicyclohexyl, trichloroethylene and tetrachloroethyl‐cyclohexane. A reaction mechanism that satisfactorily explains the kinetics has been postulated.The photolysis has also been examined in cyclopentane and the results obtained are compared to those for cyclohexane. The differences in reactivity of cyclohexyl and cyclopentyl radicals are discussed.
