The title reaction was studied in a standard flow system with F atoms produced by R F discharge in FZ-He mixture. Analysis was by gas chromatography using electron capture detection. There were two major products, identified as CFZBrCFzH and CFZBrCFzBr, plus presumably HF which was not detectable. T

โฆ Synopsis
1,1,1-Trifluoroethane has been decomposed in comparative rate single-pulse shock-tube experiments. The rate expression for elimination at ca. 2.5 bar and in the temperature range of 1050 to has been found to be 1200 K
The experimental conditions appear to be such that the unimolecular reaction is at the beginning of the fall-off region and we find that for step sizes down between 500 and the high-pressure rate expression is in the range ฯช1 1000 cm k(CF 9CH !: HF ฯฉ CF ฯญ CH ) 3 3 2 2 15 15 ฯช1 ฯญ 2.0 ฯซ 10 exp(ฯช38300/T) to 4 ฯซ 10 exp(ฯช39000/T)s
where the smaller rate parameters refer to the larger step size down. The results are compared with those from an earlier study and the anomalously high A-factor is noted. It is suggested that the existing rate expressions for the fluorinated ethanes may need to be reevaluated.

The thermal, unimolecular elimination of HF from CH3CF3 was studied by three different groups over the temperature range 1000" to 1800ยฐK. 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
The rate constant for the reaction of the hydroxyl radical with 1,2,2-trifuoroethane has been determined over the temperature range 278-323 K using a relative rate technique. The results provide a value of for the rate constant of the reference reaction. The chlorine atom initiated photooxidation
