β¦ Synopsis
The burn rate of 5-80-t~m-thick cryogenic films of fluorine azide was determined by schlierern photography to be 1.6 + 0.2 mm/#s. This rate was found to be strongly influenced by the presence of N2F 2 , but less so by the presence of CO 2. By analogy with the results from the gas-phase decomposition of fluorine azide, the nascent decomposition products were expected to be NF(a) and N 2 . A thermal combustion mechanism driven by the energy released upon production and quenching of the NF(a) species was, therefore, proposed.

## Abstract The kinetics of thermal decomposition of ethyl, isopropyl, and __t__βbutyl trifluoroacetates have been studied in the gas phase. In each case initial decomposition follows the normal ester route to give an olefin and trifluoroacetic acid, and elimination of hydrogen fluoride does not oc
