Abstract
Ethylene was irradiated at 3660 Å in the presence of NO2 at 25°C. Quantum yields were determined as a function of ethylene pressure, NO2 pressure, and the total pressure (using N2). The quantum yields for NO2 dissociation increased as a function of (C2H4) and approached a value greater than 2. The main features of the proposed mechanism are the addition of oxygen atoms to ethylene producing an energy‐rich intermediate which dissociates into CH3 and CHO. This is followed by rapid reaction of the radicals with NO2 to produce the stable products.Keywords
