Title: Vapor-phase photodecomposition of chloropicrin (trichloronitromethane)

Journal/Source: Tetrahedron, 34 (23), 3345-3349, (1978); doi:10.1016/0040-4020(78)80255-5

Comments: Under simulated environmental (atmospheric) conditions, chloropicrin vapor was readily converted 
in light to phosgene, which remained stable, and nitrosyl chloride which was subsequently photolyzed to nitric 
oxide and chlorine.
