The title reaction has been investigated in the temperature range of 490-573 K. Initial reactant pressures were varied in the range of 0.2-5.2 torr (12) and 2-20 torr (C&,SiH3). The rate of iodine consumption, monitored spectrophotometrically, was found to obey both by initial rate and integrated e

✦ Synopsis
The kinetics of the thermal bromination reaction ( 3 ) have been studied in the range of 26lo-391"C. The observed rate law is compatible with initiation by the step (6) for which we obtain Brz + CsFsI -BrI + C6FsBr Br + C6FJ -BrI + C6F5 log k6(cm3/mol. sec) = (13.41 f 0.26) -(11700 f 700)/6 where 8 = 2.303RT cal/mol. Using the above value of &, we have D(C6Fs-I) = 53.5 kcal/mol
This result disagrees with values of D(C6Fs-I) obtained in other ways and we conclude that reaction (3) probably does not involve initiation by reaction (6). Instead, initiation may involve an addition of Br to the ring in C6FsI followed by decomposition of the adduct to give CsFsBr. If correct, this implies that the Arrhenius parameters above refer to the addition reaction rather than to reaction (6).
