Abstract
Various scavengers used in the study of hot halogen reactions were tested for the system 38Cl + CH3Cl → CH338Cl + Cl, where the hot chlorine originated from neutron capture. It was found that a 1 to 2 percent concentration of Br2 or I2 was an effective scavenger and removed radicals, thermal atoms and ions. Other scavengers which were tried required a mixture of a radical scavenger and a thermal halogen scavenger to obtain the true “hot” reaction yield. A value of 3.4 ± 0.25 percent was obtained for the yield of the above hot atom reaction.
