Rate coefficients and ClO radical yields in the reaction of O(1D) with CClF2CCl2F, CCl3CF3, CClF2CClF2, and CCl2FCF3

Rate coefficients, k, and ClO radical product yields, Y, for the gas‐phase reaction of O(1D) with CClF2CCl2F (CFC‐113) (k2), CCl3CF3 (CFC‐113a) (k3), CClF2CClF2 (CFC‐114) (k4), and CCl2FCF3 (CFC‐114a) (k5) at 296 K are reported. Rate coefficients for the loss of O(1D) were measured using a competitive reaction technique, with n‐butane (n‐C4H10) as the reference reactant, employing pulsed laser photolysis production of O(1D) combined with laser‐induced fluorescence detection of the OH radical temporal profile. Rate coefficients were measured to be k2 = (2.33 ± 0.40) × 10−10 cm3 molecule−1 s−1, k3 = (2.61 ± 0.40) × 10−10 cm3 molecule−1 s−1, k4 = (1.42 ± 0.25) × 10−10 cm3 molecule−1 s−1, and k5 = (1.62 ± 0.30) × 10−10 cm3 molecule−1 s−1. ClO radical product yields for reactions (2)–(5) were measured using pulsed laser photolysis combined with cavity ring‐down spectroscopy to be 0.80 ± 0.10, 0.79 ± 0.10, 0.85 ± 0.12, and 0.79 ± 0.10, respectively. The quoted errors in k and Y are at the 2σ (95% confidence) level and include estimated systematic errors.
