Abstract
A series of key stationary points of potential energy surface (PES) for the CH2ClFO system has been calculated at G3(MP2) level. The calculations reve al three intermediaries, fourteen transition states and twenty product chan nels. With the stationary points, gas phase decomposition mechanism of CHCl FOH is discussed. The four - center 1,2 - HX (X = F, Cl) elimination mechan ism is dominant reaction channel for CHClFOH. But OCl and OF bond scissions might be competitive in the case of its two isomers.
