Abstract

In the preceding paper'the reaction of C6F6/SiH4 mixtures was studied by single-pulse C 0 2 laser irradiation. We observed that the decomposition of C6F6 was substantially increased by the addition of silane. One of the possibilities for the significant increment in the decomposition of C6F6 in the laser-induced reaction with SiH4 could be related to the primary formation of pentafluorophenyl and fluorine radicals as follows:
