The kinetics of the thermal bromination of CF₃I. Determination of the bond dissociation energy D(CF₃−I)

Abstract

The kinetics of the thermal bromination reaction Brz + CFaI --+ IBr + CF& For the step have been studied in the range of 173-321°C.( 1 1) we obtainwhere 0 = 2.303RT cal/mole. that From the activation energy for reaction (1 11, we calculate D(CF3-I) = 52.6 + 1.1 kcal/mole at 25°C This is compared with previously published values of D(CF3-I). result to published work on k, for a combination of CF3 radicals is discussed.The relevance of the

Thermal stability and bond dissociation energy of fluorinated polymers: A critical evaluation

“…The enthalpy of formation of n-C 3 F 7 and n-C 4 F 9 radicals is not experimentally available. There are, however, data concerning BDEs of the related n-alkyl iodides [19,32]. For these compounds, DH f has been evaluated by Joshi's method.…”

Reactive scattering of a supersonic oxygen atom beam : O + CF3I

“…The table lists the initial translational energy E, the peak E'pk and average E'~v product translational energies and the reaction exoergicity AD 0. The reaction exoergicity was calculated u~ing the bond energy of OI from Radlein et al [12] and that of CF3I from Okafo and Whittle [13]. E'av of the product translational energy are roughly equal to the initial translational energies E but the peak translational energies E'pk occur at much lower values.…”

The kinetics of the reactions of C2F5 radicals with Br2 and HBr

“…The method could easily be extended to production of other fluoroalkyl radicals from fluoroiodides such as those studied by Okafo and Whittle [5].…”
