Abstract
The reactions of fluorine, bromine and oxygen atoms in solution have b een examined using nanosecond laser flash photolysis techniques. In ea ch system it was necessary to identify a suitable precursor (XeF2 for fluorine, vicinal dibromides for bromine, and pyridine-N-oxide for oxy gen) and a convenient probe species having a readily observable absorp tion band in the UV-vis region. The kinetics of the debromination of b eta-bromoalkyl radicals have been examined for silicon-substituted rad icals.
