Abstract

The relative rate technique has been used to investigate the kinetics of the reaction of Cl atoms with carbon disulfide, CS₂, at 700 Torr total pressure of air at 298 K. The decay rate of CS₂ was measured relative to CH₄, CH₃Cl and CHF₂Cl. For experiments using CH₄ and CH₃Cl references, the decay rate of CS₂ was dependent on the ratio of the concentration of the reference to that of CS₂. We ascribe this behavior to the generation of OH radicals in the system leading to complicated secondary chemistry. From experiments using CHF₂Cl we are able to assign an upper limit of 4 × 10^-15 cm³ molecule^-1 s^-1 for the overall reaction, Cl + CS₂ → products.
