K. Johnsson et al., THE CLOCLO, BROCLO AND IOCLO MOLECULES AND THEIR PHOTOISOMERIZATION -A MATRIX-ISOLATION STUDY, Journal of physical chemistry, 99(12), 1995, pp. 3902-3904
The compounds XOClO (X = Cl, Br, and I) have been prepared in argon ma
trices, by addition of X to OClO. Visible radiation transforms them in
to XClO(2). The wavelength dependency of the transformations has been
studied. ClClO2 and BrClO2 can be isomerized back to ClOClO and BrOClO
, respectively, with near UV radiation.
