Abstract

Flash photolysis combined with time-resolved UV spectroscopy and transient infrared absorption is used to investigate the reactions of CF3C (O) O2 with itself, CF3O2, and nitric oxide. The UV spectrum of CF3C (O) O2 exhibits two bands, the stronger short wavelength component of which has a maximum cross section of 7.1× 10-18 cm2 at 207 nm. These bands are used to monitor the disappearance of CF3C (O) O2 and the secondary ...
