The light-induced addition of perfluoropropyl iodide to fluoro-ethylenes in the gas phase C3F7·+ RCHCH2→ C3F7CH2ĊHR (2) has been studied, and activation parameters determined by a competitive method. The corresponding differences found are: [graphic omitted] The most striking feature is the similarity to the results for addition of bromotrichloromethane to the same olefins. Relationships between activation energies and some theoretical quantities are discussed.
