The Radiation Chemistry of Chloroform
An attempt was made to investigate the radiation chemistry of pure, oxygen- and water-free chloroform and to identify and quantitatively determine all the products. Irradiations were carried out with x rays at a dose rate of 3.7 x lO/sup 18/ ev ml/sup -1/ hr/sup -1/ in a helium atmosphere. The only products formed were HCl, CH/sub 2/Cl/sub 2/, 1,1,2-trichloroethane, 1,1,2,2- tetrachloroethane, pentachloroethane, hexachloroethane, and tetrachloroethylene. The G values of formation for all these products were determined, as well as its dependence on total dose. A mechanism was derived which accounts for the experimental facts and is based on the known bond energies. The use of the biallyl-chloroform system as a dosimeter is described. (M.C.G.)
