The reaction Cl + H2CO → HCl + HCO has been studied at 295 K. Chlorine atoms were produced via the infrared laser induced dissociation of CCl3F, using a pulsed CO2 TEA laser. Using HCl infrared chemiluminescence as the diagnostic, we find the rate constant to be 7.4 ± 0.7 × 10−11 cm3/molecule sec, in good agreement with several recent studies. An evaluation of TEA laser photolysis as a technique for the generation of chlorine atoms is made, and the relationship of this experiment to recent theories of infrared laser induced chemistry is discussed.
