Photochemistry of 2,2-dichloroethanol: kinetics and mechanism of the reaction with Cl atoms and OH radicals

Abstract

Smog chamber/FTIR study investigates the atmospheric chemistry and environmental impact of 2,2-dichloroethanol.

Atmospheric chemistry of (Z)- and (E)-1,2-dichloroethene: kinetics and mechanisms of the reactions with Cl atoms, OH radicals, and O3

“…The spectrum shown in Panel F was generated by irradiation of mixture of 14.5 mTorr CHCl 2 CH 2 OH and 1.04 Torr Cl 2 in 700 Torr ultra-pure He (free of oxygen) as part of a related study. 22 The products of this reaction are CCl 3 CH 2 OH and CHCl 2 CHClOH, with the latter being unstable and decaying in the dark to give 100% CHCl 2 CHO (and HCl).…”
