KINETICS OF THE ABSTRACTION OF HYDROGEN ATOMS FROM HYDROGEN SULFIDE BY TRIFLUOROMETHYL RADICALS

Abstract

Trifluoromethyl radicals generated from the photolysis of hexafluoroacetone abstract hydrogen atoms from hydrogen sulphide.[Formula: see text]The rate constant of this reaction measured by comparing the rate with that for the recombination of trifluoromethyl radicals (k = 2.3 × 1013 cc mole−1 s−1) is given by,[Formula: see text]
