Notes:
Energetic hydrogen atoms generated by photolysis of HBr or HI react with CDCl3 by abstracting either a deuterium atom (1) or a chlorine atom (2): The integral probability of reaction (2) has been measured for several defined initial translational energies of H*, and the phenomenological threshold energy is 31 ± 14 kJ/mol. For initial translational energies in the range of 66-121 kJ/mol, the ratio of the integral probabilities of Cl abstraction and of D abstraction, when normalized to equal numbers of Cl and D atoms, is 2.4 ± 0.3. The interpretation of the integral reaction probabilities in terms of the excitation functions of reactions (1) and (2) is discussed. Measurements of the moderating effect of CO2 on reactions (1) and (2) show that CDCl3 is slightly more effective than CO2 as a moderator of H atoms in the energy range of 90-30 kJ/mol.
