Inhibition Effect of Trichloromethane on the Photoignition of Chloromethane–Chlorine Mixtures

摘要

The deterring effect of trichloromethane and tetrachloromethane on the photoinitiation of chlo-romethane–chlorine mixtures is experimentally studied. It is established that, in such a system, trichlo-romethane as a deterrent is more effective tetrachloromethane. The higher deterring ability of trichlo-romethane is explained by its interacting with chlorine atoms to form low-activity trichloromethyl radicals.
