Rakhymzhan, A. Chichinin Title: Excited Cl(2P1/2) Atoms: Yield from the Photodissociation of SOCl2 and Collisional Deactivation by NO2, CCl3H, C2H4, C3H6, and SOCl2 Journal/Source: J. Phys. Chem. A, 114 (24), 6586-6593, (2010); DOI: 10.1021/jp100965c Data: Energy/Wavelength range: 235 nm; 248 nm Resolution: Temperature: 298 K Temperature dependence: no Pressure/Concentration: Phase: pH: Comments: Cl* atoms were produced by photodissociation of SOCl2 at 248 nm, and the relative quantum yield of Cl* atoms is determined to be 0.52 ± 0.03. This yield is much larger than the yield at 235 nm (0.35 ± 0.06). Author to whom correspondence should be addressed: (e-mail address):
