Abstract
The laser induced radical chain elimination of hydrogen chloride from 1,2-dichlorethane (DCE) forming vinyl chloride (VC) has been studied in a flow reactor in the temperature range from 470 to 720 K. Product formation after the laser pulse was observed by a time-resolved UV-absorption technique. The rate constant of the decomposition of the 1,2-dichloroethyl radical C2H3C12 \(\mathop \to \limits^M \) was measured to k = (6.5 ± 2) × 1013 × exp(-83 ± 3 kJ/mo1/RT) s-1 Effects of temperature, pressure and initial radical concentration on quantum yields and on k were determined.
