✦ Synopsis

It has recently been suggested [ll that when l,l,l-trichloroethane is irradiated with a continuous-wave COP laser in the presence of SF6 sensitizer, the decomposition occurs in a molecular manner, viz. CH3CC13 4 CHZ = CCl2 + HC1 rather than by a radical-chain mechanism CHBCC13 CH3 -CC12 + C1 C1 + CH3CC13 -CHZCC13 + HC1 CHzCC13
