Abstract The pyrolysis of C 2 Cl 6 has been studied between 652 and 735 K at pressures ranging from 19 to 50 torr. The observed total pressure‐ and Cl 2 pressure‐time curves show S‐shapes with an induction period depending on temperature and pressure. Further, the total pressure goes through a maximum to finally reach a lower constant value. These curves are explained in terms of a recently proposed reaction model using a parameter optimization computer program. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
