Solution injection laser pyrolysis: a novel technique for gas phase pyrolysis of involatile compounds

Abstract

The gas phase pyrolysis of involatile species has been studied by injection of solutions in inert solvents into SF₆ gas heated by CO₂ laser radiation; the gas phase chemistry reflects the distribution of species present in solution, and may potentially be controlled through parameters such as solution pH.
