The thermal decomposition of hexachloroethane in the presence of chlorine has been studied over the temperature range 340‐400°C and a pressure range of 0.5°2.5 atm. The rate of the unimolecular CC bond spliting reaction can be described by the Arrhenius equation Comparison of these rate data with thermodynamic data suggests a combination rate for CCl3 radicals which is consistent with earlier measurements.
