Description

The thermal and photochemical reactions of the methylal radical cation in freon matrices were studied using selective deuteration for elucidating the structure of the resulting species. The methylal radical cation was shown to decay by unimolecular reaction upon heating to 140 K as well as upon photolysis in CFCl3 matrix and the product of decay is assumed to be the complex of formaldehyde radical cation with CFCl3. Such decay reaction was demonstrated for 1,3-dioxolan radical cation as well. (author) 15 refs.; 4 figs
