✦ Synopsis

Pero\ychloroformyl

nitrate, ClC(OlOON02, PClFN, has been identified as an oxidation product of chlorinated compounds and as the principal product of the ultraviolet irradiation of Clz. NOz, and CO mixtures in air. Fourier transform IR spectroscopic detection methods have been used to identify this new compound and to establish its decomposition kinetics_ The compound is at least as stable thermally as peroxyacetyl nitrate. PClFN is undoubtedly produced in the atmosphere Nhere it most hkely is a contributor to photochemical smog and possrbly has some involvement in stratosperic chemistry_
