title: A matrix isolation study of the photochemically induced reactions of nitrogen dioxide with 1,2-dibromoethene and 1,2-dichloroethene using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.
abstract: Photolyses of matrices of either BrCHCHBr/NO2/Ar or ClCHCHCl/NO2/Ar using quartz-filtered radiation (lambda>240 nm) led to the appearance of infrared bands attributable to carbonyl, carbon monoxide, and ketene species; no bands belonging to a precursor complex NO2cdots, three dots, centeredXCHCHX (where X=Br or Cl) were observed upon matrix deposition. The possible reaction pathway is discussed.
