The low temperature phenomena have been studied by quantum chemical techniques and reaction mechanisms to explain products’ formation (including the MCD 3-chlorodibenzofuran) are given. 3-Chlorodibenzofuran (the simplest PCDF) and benzaldehyde are important low temperature products produced by O2 (1∆) in reactors (1) and (2). Both O2 (1∆) and ground state O2 (3 Σ g) can displace Cl atoms from 4-chlorobiphenyl to produce polychlorobenzenes although only O2 (1Δ) produces significant yields of chlorobenzenes at low temperatures. Styrene and naphthalene also arise from O2 displacement of Cl.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:31:26 AEDT ]]>
