Photolysis of chloroiodomethane (CH(2)ClI) in cryogenic matrices followed by recombination of the nascent radical pair produces an isomer (CH(2)Cl-I) that features a halogen-halogen (Cl-I) bond. Using ultrafast laser pulses, it is possible to follow the formation of this isomer by

A number of flowback samples derived from horizontally drilled hydraulic fracturing (HDHF) operations reveal consistent detections of halogenated organic species , yet the source of these compounds remains uncertain. Studies simulating subsurface conditions have found that oxidative "breakers" can halogenate certain
