Abstract :
The radical–radical reaction of formyl radical with chlorine atom has been investigated by the time-resolved infrared emission spectroscopy and by the theoretical calculations at the UB3LYP/6-31++G(d,p) and single-point UCCSD(T)/6-311++G(d,p) levels. The products have been verified as the vibrationally excited CO (v⩽4) and HCl. The reaction is initiated by radical–radical recombination forming an intermediate of formaldehyde chloride, which further dissociates into the products of HCl and CO.
