The rate constants for the reactions of OH radicals with trifluoromethyl tr
ifluorovinyl ether (CF3OCF = CF2) and hexafluoropropene (CF3CF = CF2) have
been measured over the temperature range 250-430 K. Kinetic measurements ha
ve been carried out using the flash photolysis and laser photolysis methods
combined, respectively, with the laser-induced fluorescence technique. The
Arrhenius rate constants have been determined as k(CF3OCF=CF2)=1.01(-0.04)
(+0.04) x 10(-12) exp[(320 +/- 10)/T], and k(CF3CF = CF2) = 8.74(-0.33)(+0.
34) x 10(-13) exp[(260 +/- 10)/T] cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1). (C) 2000 Elsevi
