The surface-induced and electron-induced chemistry of trifluoroiodomethane (CF3I), a potential replacement for chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and chlorofluorobromocarbons (halons), were investigated under ultrahigh vacuum conditions (p~ 1× 10-10 Torr) on Mo (110). Results of temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) experiments indicate that dissociative adsorption of CF3I leads only to nonselective decomposition on Mo (110), in ...
