The photoabsorption spectra of some molecules of atmospheric interest, CH3Br, BrCH2CH2Br, BrNO, SOCl2, and SO2Cl2, were quantitatively investigated over the wavelength region from 190 to 300 nm at 295 K and were found to obey Beer's law. The variation in the photodissociation coefficients of these molecules was calculated as a function of altitude. Unsuccessful attempts to prepare gaseous nitryl bromide (BrN02) and nitryl iodide (INO2) at room temperature are reported.
