Title: Photolysis of ethyl chloride (Freon 160) at 147 nm 

Journal: J. Photochemistry, 6, 77-90, (1976/1977); doi:10.1016/0047-2670(76)85050-2  


Data: (diagram, table, disk): 

Wavelenght range: 147 nm

Resolution: 

Temperature: 296 K

Temperature dependence: 

Pressure: 1 - 500 Torr


Comments: The extinction coefficient of C2H5Cl at 147 nm was determined to be 107.2 ± 7.2 atm-1 cm-1 at 296 K.
At 1 Torr, the quantum yield for molecular HCl elimination is approximately 0.6 and for molecular H2 elimination, 
approximately 0.1. At 500 Torr the corresponding quantum yields are approximately 0.2 and 0.05.
