Pure CF 3 Br and mixtures of this substance with monoatomic (He, Ar and Xe),homonuclear diatomic (H 2 , D 2 , N 2 ), polyatomic gases (CF 4 ) and NO have beenirradiated with a TEA CO 2 laser. Carbon-13 enrichment factor and carbon-13 selectivityhave been estimated from the mass spectrometric analysis of the undissociated CF 3 Br asa function of excitation wavelength, fluence, temperature and pressure. The irradiatingwavelength is a crucial parameter to achieve enrichment. The nature of the added gasalso affects considerably selectivity. Best enrichment is achieved in mixtures with NO dueto its radical-like character.
