The reactions between Hg(3P1) and toluene have been investigated between 150° and 400°C at pressures from 0.4 to 30.5 mm Hg. The gaseous products are H2, CH4, and C2H6. The quantum yield for H2 is 5×10—4 at 150°C and increases to about 10—1 at 400°C. A mechanism based on two types of excited toluene molecules is proposed.
