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