Abstract

Since only CF2X2 and no other disubstituted fluorocarbon was obtained, it must be concluded that CF2X2 was formed most probably via CF2 elimination from the fluorocarbon radical fragment followed by reaction with the carrier gas. On the basis of these results it is believed that" unzippering" of a fluorocarbon chain may very probably occur via CF2 elimination rather than via
