Abstract

The time-resolved tunable diode laser detection of CF3 radicals formed by infrared multiphoton dissociation of (CF3)2CO is reported. Knowledge of the linestrength of the rR16(20) CF3 absorption linc at 1264.739 cm-1 allows the calculation of a rate constant for recombination of CF3 radicals following (CF3) 2CO photolysis. This rate constant has a value of (2.2± 0. 5) × 10-12 cm3 molecule-1 st̄1 in (CH3)2CO at 600 mTorr and room temperature.
