The gas-phase kinetics of the CH 2ClO radical, formed by flash photolysis of Cl 2 in CH 3Cl/O 2/N 2 mixtures, was investigated at 306 K and at total pressures from 5 to 35 Torr by time-resolved mass spectrometry. Reaction of CH 2ClO with O 2 to form HC(O)Cl and HO 2, and unimolecular dissociation to...
