Abstract
1. It has been shown that carbon tetrachloride is not decomposed by light of wavelength 2537 ångstroms.
2. It has been shown that light of wavelength 2537 ångstroms produces an oxidation of carbon tetrachloride according to the reaction
CCl4 + ½O2 → COCl2 + Cl2It has been shown that one molecule of carbon tetrachloride is decomposed per quantum of light absorbed. A possible mechanism for this reaction has been given.
3. The difficulty of purifying carbon tetrachloride for photochemical work has been pointed out.
4. Evidence suggesting a photochemical hydrolysis of carbon tetrachloride has been given.
