Conclusions

  1. 1.

    According to mass spectrometric data, the decomposition of (COCl)2 at low pressures proceeds through a molecular mechanism with the formation of CO and COCl2 without the intermediate formation of any sort of unstable species; this is in accord with results obtained previously by the use of matrix IR spectroscopy.

  2. 2.

    The apparent activation energy of heterogeneous decomposition of (COCl)2 has been evaluated, and the significant role of chemisorption on the reactor surface has been established.
