The bound--free XeCl spectra observed from the reactions of Xe(6s, /sup 3/P/sub 2/) atoms with Cl/sub 2/, PCl/sub 3/, CCl/sub 4/, and COCl/sub 2/ have been compared to computer simulated spectra in order to assign the XeCl* vibrational energy distributions from these reactions. The values for the initial state distributions are between 0.6--0.8 for Cl/sub 2/ and CCl/sub 4/ and 0.2--0.3 for COCl/sub 2/. The results for PCl/sub 3/ are unusual in that the distribution for the XeCl (B) and XeCl (C) states apparently differ, with the
