Photodissociation of alkyl and aryl

They are especially important in the process of thermal and photodegradation of polymers. The primary photodissociation of alkyl and aryl peroxides takes place in the first absorption region. The weak RO-OR bond is disrupted ... 

Detailed studies of the chlorine-atom-sensitized oxidation of chloromethane, dichloromethane, 1,1,2-trichloroethane, CH2CC12, and C2C14148 have been reported. Reports on the photolysis of Freons of interest to upper-atmosphere chemistry are discussed in the last section of this Report, and laser enhancement of some halogen-containing molecular reactions is discussed in Section 11. A paper concerned with the mechanism of photodissociation of alkyl and aryl halides was discussed earlier.38 The photochemical chlorination of 1,2-dichloroethane149 and fluorination of carbonyl fluoride,150 reactions of 2 radicals,151 and the photochemical decomposition of FaO at elevated temperatures152 have been reported.
