Photodissociation of the CH3Cl/+/ and N2O/+/ cations.
Use of the ion cyclotron resonance (icr) technique to observe the photodissociation of the cations CH3Cl(+) and N2O(+) in the gas phase. Ions were trapped in the icr cell for periods of the order of seconds, which permitted the photodissociation process to be observed with wavelength-selected light. A cyclotron resonance ejection technique was employed to show that CH3Cl(+) ions were being dissociated rather than the CH3ClH(+) ions which were also present. The photodissociation cross section for N2O(+) was found to be without strong wavelength dependence between 4000 and 6500 A. The cross section for CH3Cl(+) showed a large peak at 3150 A. Possible assignments of this peak are considered, and it is suggested that a photodissociation occurs through an ion excitation involving a change in occupation of the bonding or antibonding orbitals of the C-Cl bond.

Moisture-resistant coatings for optical components
Plasma polymerization technique is used to apply thin, adherent, hydrophobic coatings from chlorotrifluoroethylene monomer. Apparently much of the chlorine contained in original monomer is lost during polymerization, and characteristic C-Cl absorption in infrared region is essentially absent.

Atmospheric degradation mechanisms of hydrogen containing chlorofluorocarbons (HCFC) and fluorocarbons (HFC)
The current knowledge of atmospheric degradation of hydrogen containing chlorofluorocarbons (HCFC 22 (CHClF2), HCFC 123 (CHCl2CF3), HCFC 124 (CHClFCF3), HCFC 141b (CFCl2CH3), HCFC 142b (CF2ClCH3)) and fluorocarbons (HFC 125 (CHF2CF3), HFC 134a (CH2FCF3), HFC 152a (CHF2CH3)) is assessed. Except for the initiation reaction by OH radicals, there are virtually no experimental data available concerning the subsequent oxidative breakdown of these molecules. However, from an analogy to the degradation mechanisms of simple alkanes, some useful guidelines as to the expected intermediates and final products can be derived. A noteable exception from this analogy, however, appears for the oxi-radicals. Here, halogen substitution induces new reaction types (C-Cl and C-C bond ruptures) which are unknown to the unsubstituted analogues and which modify the nature of the expected carbonyl products. Based on an evaluation of these processes using estimated bond strength data, the following simplified rules with regards to the chlorine content of the HCFC's may be deduced: (1) HCFC's containing one chlorine atom such as 22 and 142b seem to release their chlorine content essentially instantaneous with the initial attack on the parent by OH radicals, and for HCFC 124, such release is apparently prevented; (2) HCFC's such as 123 and 141b with two chlorine atoms are expected to release only one of these instantaneously; and the second chlorine atom may be stored in potentially long-lived carbonyl compounds such as CF3CClO or CClFO.
