INFRARED SPECTRUM OF THE PRODUCTS OF THE INTERACTION OF EXCITED NEON ATOMS WITH CCl₄ TRAPPED IN SOLID NEON.

CATHERINE L. LUGEZ AND MARILYN E. JACOX, National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, MD 20899.

When a Ne:CCl₄ sample is codeposited at approximately 5 K with a beam of neon atoms that have been excited in a microwave discharge, the infrared spectrum of the resulting solid deposit shows prominent absorptions that have previously been assigned to Cl₂CCl--Cl, as well as other absorptions of uncharged, cationic CCl_n (n~=~1-3) and anionic CCl_n (n~=~3,4) species. Studies of Ne:¹3CCl₄ samples and studies of the photodestruction of the products when the deposit is subjected to various bands of visible and ultraviolet radiation support the proposed assignments.
