The 163.4-nmphotolysis of gaseous C2H5Brhas been investigated at 298 K over the pressure range 2-100 torr, using a bromine lamp. The effects of additives, N2, CF4, and NO, were also studied. In the pure system the observed reaction products and their respective quantum yields are CzH4 (-0.36), C2H, (0.42-0.79), C2H3Br(0.1-0.24), CH,CHBr2 (0.24-0.32), and n-C4Hlo (
