The Photolysis of 3,3,3-Trifluoropropyne

The photolysis of 3,3,3-trifluoropropyne has been studied in the 190 nm wavelength region. The primary process is the dissociation of the compound to give ethynyl and trifluoromethyl radicals. In the presence of propane, these radicals undergo abstraction reactions to give fluoroform and acetylene....

Description
Summary:The photolysis of 3,3,3-trifluoropropyne has been studied in the 190 nm wavelength region. The primary process is the dissociation of the compound to give ethynyl and trifluoromethyl radicals. In the presence of propane, these radicals undergo abstraction reactions to give fluoroform and acetylene. The presence of nitric oxide also results in the trapping of the CF 3 radical as CF 3 NO. Ethynyl radicals are not trapped by NO.
