The vibrationally excited molecules CF,CH,\* and CF,CD,\* have been synthesized by radical combination (produced by ketone photolysis), and HF and DF elimination from them studied as a function of temperature and pressure. Using RRK theory many calculations have recently been made of critical energi

Abstract
The chemical activation data for three‐ and four‐centered hydrogen fluoride elimination from CH~2~FCDF~2~ have been analyzed to assign the energy released to the olefin fragment in the three‐centered process and to estimate the threshold energies for elimination channels. Based upon the cis–trans isomerization rates of CHF = CHF, 78% of the total available energy was released to the olefin fragment for the αα channel. The analysis suggests the existence of an appreciable barrier (∼10 kcal/mole) for the reverse reaction, addition of the CH~2~FCF carbene to DF. The threshold energies for αα, αβ, and βα elimination from 1,1,2‐trifluoroethane‐1‐d~1~ were assigned as 71, 68, and 68 kcal/mole, respectively. Analysis of the chemical activation data for 1,1,2,2,‐tetrafluoroethane, without distinguishing between the three‐ and four‐centered elimination channels, suggests a threshold energy of ∼75 kcal/mole.

The thermal, unimolecular elimination of HF from CH3CF3 was studied by three different groups over the temperature range 1000" to 1800°K. While the reported kinetic parameters varied greatly, it is shown here that these data may be satisfactorily correlated in terms of a four-center transition state
