✦ Synopsis
The reactions between F2 and the lowest members of the homologous series of perfluoroalkyl iodides (CF31. C2F51. and n-C3F71) have been studied. For these compounds, an exponential decrease in the alkyl iodide concentration over time following an induction period is observed for certain experimental conditions Other conditions lead to chaotic-like kinetic behavior where the rate of alkyl iodide consumption continually changes. Kinetic rate data with CF31 show that the disappearance rate depends upon both the type of surface and surface preparation For all three compounds. Arrhenius plots reveal activation energies on the order of 10 kcal/mol, consistent with effective initiation steps of F2 + RI -RIF + F. where R represents the CF3, C2F5, or n-C3F, radical, respectively The end products of the F2 + RI reactions are RF. Rz. and IF5. suggesting that the R radicals play an important kinetic role.
Introducing O2 into the F2 + RI reaction systems results in successive oxidation of R by 02, leading to the formation of CFIO as an additional end product IF(B -X ) emission is observed from the RI-rich F2 + RI reactions, confirming the existence of IF as an intermediate.
