Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The low-temperature flash photolysis of tetranitromethane, chlorotrinitromethane, and fluorotrinitromethane in DMFA and hydroxyl-containing solutions leads to rupture of the polynitromethane C-N bond with the formation of polynitrocarbanions.

  2. 2.

    Kinetic studies have shown that anion formation in the polynitro-compound photolysis is a first-order process; yields for these reactions have been determined.
