Abstract

The gas-phase photochemical generation of CF3NO2 from CF3I and NO2 was found to be equilibrium limited. The formation of CF3NO2 is favored at low pressure and high temperature, where the concentration of the reactive species NO2 is the greatest, and unfavored at high pressure and low temperature, where the concentration of N2O4 is greatest. The results from varying the stoichiometric ratio of reactants, pressure, ...
