Experimental approaches to the chemical synthesis of gas phase radical
s by IR multiple photon excitation of polyatomic molecules are conside
red. The transversely excited atmospheric (TEA) CO2 laser-induced telo
merization reaction of C2F4 and CF3I was studied in conventional and w
aveguide photolysis reactors. The difference in the product distributi
on in the two cases can be explained in terms of the various competing
rate constants and the concentration of the perfluoroalkyl radicals g
enerated in the irradiated volume.
