Atmospheric chemistry of t-CF3CH
CHCl: products and mechanisms of the gas-phase reactions with chlorine atoms and hydroxyl radicals
Abstract
FTIR-smog chamber techniques were used to study the products and mechanisms of the CHCl, in 700 Torr of air or N2/O2 diluent at 296 ± 2 K. The reactions of
CHCl occur via addition to the
C
C
double bond;
CHCl were
CHCl.
CHOH appears to be the sole atmospheric fate of the
CHCl will be negligible (<2%). The results are discussed with respect to the atmospheric chemistry and environmental impact of t-CF3CH
CHCl.
