Abstract

This paper describes the time-resolved detection of CF3, C2F6, and CO following the infrared multiphoton dissociation of hexafluoroacetone. The primary photolysis mechanism has been established as follows: (CF3)2CO → 2CF3 + CO; 2CF3 → C2F6. Determination of the CO and C2F6 formed in a single photolysis pulse leads to a measure of an infrared line strength and v3 band strength for CF3. Quantification of the CF3 in this manner allows a study of its reaction kinetics. The reactions of CF3 with added O2 and NO were found to have third-body rate constants of (2.1 ± 0.5) × 10-29 and (2.8 ± 0.7) × 10-29 cm6 molecule-2 s-1, respectively, at room temperature in the presence of 600 mTorr of hexafluoroacetone.
