We report the separation of carbon isotopes by photolysis of CS/sub 2/ in cryogenic solutions of nitrogen, krypton, and argon with 206-nm light from an iodine resonance lamp. The spectral distribution of the ultraviolet absorption depends on solvent. Thus, in liquid nitrogen the photolytic rate of /sup 13/CS/sub 2/ is greater than that of /sup 12/Cs/sub 2/ whereas in liquid krypton and liquid argon the reverse is true. 4 figures, 1 table.
