Abstract
CO2 laser-induced and SF6 (0.4-0.5 kPa) sensitized decomposition of oxalyl chloride (4 kPa) in the presence of radical scavengers (2.6-8.7 kPa) as hydrogen, propene and nitric oxide obeys first-order kinetics and is supportive of the view that oxalyl chloride thermally decomposes by concerted molecular mechanism.
