Abstract

The kinetics of a number of cis-trans isomerization reactions occurring in the presence of iodine can be interpreted in terms of a mechanism involving catalysis by iodine atoms. We have studied the photochemical iodine-sensitized isomerization of cis- and trans-dichloroethylene and find that the kinetics of this reaction are compatible with such a mechanism
