The multichannel reaction of the C2Cl3 radical with O2 has been studied thoroughly by step-scan time-resolvedFourier transform infrared emission spectroscopy. Vibrationally excited products of Cl2CO, CO, and CO2 areobserved and three major reaction channels forming respectively ClCO + Cl2CO, CO + CCl3O, and CO2 +CCl3 are identified. The vibrational state distribution of the product CO is derived from the spectral fitting,and the nascent average vibrational energy of CO is determined to be 59.9 kJ/mol. A surprisal analysis isapplied to evaluate the vibrational energy disposal, which reveals that the experimentally measured COvibrational energy is much more than that predicted by statistical model. Combining previous ab initiocalculation results, the nonstatistical dynamics and mechanism are characterized to be barrierless addition-elimination via short-lived reaction intermediates including the peroxy intermediate C2Cl3OO* and a crucialthree-member-ring COO intermediate.
