Kinetics and Mechanisms of the Reactions of Atomic Fluorine with CF3I and CCl3Br.

Abstract

Using molecular beam analysis, the kinetics and mechanisms of the reactions of atomic fluorine with CF3I and CCl3Br have been investigated in a fast-flow reactor. Direct observation of perhalomethyl radicals and lack of detection of displaced halogen atoms proves conclusively that both of these reactions proceed primarily by abstraction, rather than displacement, of a halogen atom. In the CCl3Br system, successive 'atom-switching' reactions rapidly convert CCl3 to its fluorinated analogs. The rate constants are given. (Author)
