✦ Synopsis

Time-resolved emission spectra of the TEA CO2 laser induced oxidation of tetrafhtoroethene and decafluorocyclopentane with molecular oxygen indicate that the oxidation of tetrafluoroethene occurs by at least two processes. The dioxetane mechanism represents a faster reaction compared to the oxidation of transiently formed difluorocarbene.
