Evidence is presented indicating that reactions of energetic carbon-11 are effected by the presence and type of halogen in gas-phase methyl halides. Correlations of acetylene-/sup 11/C yields with /sup 1/H and /sup 19/F NMR chemical shifts of the substrates indicate that electron density and bond polarization factors influence the mechanism(s) leading to hot products such as (/sup 11/)C/sub 2/H/sub 2/. (/sup 11/)C/sub 2/H/sub 2/ was formed primarily by an intramolecular mechanism in methyl chloride.
