The radiolysis of trifluoroiodomethane at 1 atm pressure in Pyrex glass vessels has been examined. In vessels where the surface had been conditioned by a preirradiation technique the products and 100-eV yields are tetrafluoromethane, 1.08; iodine, 0.13; and difluorodiiodomethane, 0.82. When the surface was not conditioned, yields were erratic and hexafluoroethane, carbonyl fluoride, and silicon tetrafluoride were also formed. Experiments in the presence of oxygen as a radical scavenger indicate that the reaction proceeds mainly by a radical process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
