Reactions of Recoil Τ Atoms with Liquid Chloroethylenes

Abstract

The reactions of recoil Τ atoms with liquid chloroethylenes lead to average yields of 9% inorganic T, 4% HT, 24% (Cj + C 2 ) compounds and 63% polymers. The (C, + C 4 ) compounds are mainly formed through reactions of energetic Τ atoms, either by direct substitution or by more complex reaction sequences. I 2 increases the yield of T + to 47 % and decreases the yield of polymers to 26%, indicating that about 40% of the reactions proceeds via thermal Τ atom addition.
