Abstract :
The elementary reaction of formaldehyde (H2CO) with chlorine atom has been experimentally investigated by the time-resolved infrared emission spectroscopy. The nascent products HCO and HCl (v⩽3) are observed. The major product channel has been identified as Cl+H2CO→HCl+HCO. Theoretical calculations have revealed that the mechanism is a nearly barrierless peripheral hydrogen abstraction reaction.
