Rate measurement of the reaction of CF2Cl radicals with O2.
We have studied the association reaction of the CF(2)Cl radicals with O(2) in presence of N(2). The infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) technique with a homemade TEA CO(2) laser was used for the CF(2)Cl radical generation and the vibrational chemiluminiscence technique was set up for the study of the reaction kinetics. The time-resolved IR fluorescence of the vibrationally excited CF(2)O photoproduct was used to measure the disappearance rate of these radicals. A kinetic mechanism is presented to account for the rate of production of CF(2)O(*). The CF(2)Cl radical association reaction rate with O(2), evidence of a direct channel of photoproduct formation and its reaction rate, and the CF(2)O(*) collisional deactivation rate have been obtained.
