The technique of identification of a paramagnetic component of the molecular beam in an inhomogeneous magnetic field is used for investigation of elementary chemical reactions. The focusing of a halogen atom beam as a function of the magnetic field strength is determined. A detailed mechanism of reaction F+CF3I→IF+CF3 is proposed. The dependence of the focusing of CF3 and CH3 radicals obtained in chemical reactions on the field strength is discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
