Photolysis of iodoform (CHI) in solution has been extensively studied, but its reaction mechanism remains elusive. In particular, iso-iodoform (iso-CHI-I) is formed as a product of the photolysis reaction, but its detailed structure is not known, and whether it is a major intermediate species has been controversial. Here, by using time-resolved X-ray liquidography, we determined the reaction mechanism of CHI photodissociation in cyclohexane as well as the structure of iso-CHI-I. Both iso-CHI-I and CHI radical were found to be formed within 100 ps with a branching ratio of 40:60. Iodine radicals (I), formed during the course of CHI photolysis, recombine nongeminately with either CHI or I. Based on our structural analysis, the I-I distance and the C-I-I angle of iso-CHI-I were determined to be 2.922 ± 0.004 Å and 133.9 ± 0.8°, respectively.
碘仿(CHI₃)在溶液中的光解已得到广泛研究,但其反应机理仍不清楚。特别是,异碘仿(iso-CHI₃-I)是光解反应的产物之一,但其详细结构尚不清楚,并且它是否是主要的中间物种一直存在争议。在此,通过使用时间分辨X射线液体成像技术,我们确定了碘仿在环己烷中的光解离反应机理以及异碘仿的结构。发现异碘仿和碘仿自由基均在100皮秒内形成,分支比为40:60。在碘仿光解过程中形成的碘自由基(I)与碘仿或碘非成对地重新结合。基于我们的结构分析,确定异碘仿的I-I距离和C-I-I角度分别为2.922±0.004 Å和133.9±0.8°。
