The photolytically induced reaction of Cl2 with some nitriles was investigated in the gas phase at room temperature.The reaction with CF3CN produced CF3CCl=NCl, CF3CCl=N-N=CClCF3 and CF3CCl3 as well as minor quantities of CF3(Cl)C=N-CCl2CF3, CF3CCl2(CF3)C=N-N=C(Cl)CF3, CF3CCl2-N=N-CCl2CF3, CF3CCl2(CF3)C=N-CCl2CF3 and CF3CCl2(CF3)C=N-N=C(CF3)CCl2CF3. ClCN reacted in a similar way giving CCl2=NCl, CCl2=N-N=CCl2 and CCl4 as principal products. On the other hand, when HCN was allowed to react with chlorine atoms, only ClCN, CCl2=NCl and CCl4 were obtained.No compounds containing C-H bonds were found. Possible reaction schemes taking into account the products obtained are discussed.
