The Spin States of lodocarbene Produced from the Reactions of Fission lodine with Methane

Abstract: One of the chemical reactions of fission-produced iodine, (*I), with gaseous methane is to form an excited State of methyl iodide, (CH3*I]+. This species can undergo unimolecular decomposition to form iodocarbene. CH*I, which can be chemically scavenged with ethylene. It is postulated that the iodocarbene is formed in the triplet and singlet spin states, and that these chemically react in a manner similar to methylene and the other halocarbenes. In order to determine the relative energies of the two spin state… Show more

“…There has been some controversy over the sign of the singlet−triplet energy gap in CHI. The results of some experimental reactivity investigations suggest a ground state singlet, , whereas Gilles et al . note that the results of their PES investigation of the CHI - anion infer that the triplet is energetically more stable, although the estimated error in their experiment is rather large (Table ).…”
