摘要
The multi-bond dissociation dynamics of oxalyl chloride ((ClCO)2) is investigated by ab initio calculation. Dissociation of C-Cl bond of oxalyl chloride in the ground state is of barrierless. After the absorption of a photon, (ClCO)2 is excited to the first excited state and one of its C-Cl bonds is broken to yield Cl and ClCOCO* free radicals. In addition, ClCOCO* with high energy is prone to release energy (Q), and to turn into ClCOCO in the ground state. The energy (Q) is ade-quate for ClCOCO to break down into ClCO and CO, and even for ClCO into Cl and CO. The result is consistent with the experimental data that Kong reported.
