UV light-induced reactions of o-fluorobenzoyl chloride (FBC) were investigated using infrared spectroscopy in a cryogenic Ar matrix. Photoinduced rotational isomerization from anti-to gauche-FBC was confirmed by comparison with calculated spectra. In addition, photolysis products were found to be ketene specieso-chlorofluorobenzene, m-chlorofluorobenzene and CO.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
