Title: The Photolysis of Phosgene-Ethylene Mixtures

Journal/Source: J. Am. Chem. Soc., 87 (3), 445-453, (1965); DOI: 10.1021/ja01081a010


Data: (diagram, table, disk): 

Energy/Wavelength range: 253.7 nm

Resolution: 

Temperature: 296 K

Temperature dependence: 


Comments: The photodissociation processes COCl2 + hv --> COCl + Cl with subsequent decay of COCl --> CO + Cl, 
produces CO with unity quantum yield.
