Abstract
A method for separating iodine isotopes is proposed, based on the large difference between the rate constants of the excited I*(2P1/2) and unaxclted iodine atoms with radicals CF3 and with Cl2 molecules, and on the possibility of selectively acting on the127I atoms in the states2P1/2 and2P3/2 by radiation from a photodissociation R127I iodine laser (λ = 1.315 μm). The possibility of separating the pure isotope129I and the mixture127I with129I is investigated.
