title: The trichloromethide and bromodichloromethide carbanions.
abstract: Reactions of photochemically generated dichlorocarbene with chloride or bromide ions afford trichloromethide or bromodichloromethide carbanions, the central intermediates in the classical base-catalyzed generation of dichlorocarbene from haloforms.
