Abstract
Wall-less conditions of continuous wave CO2 laser photosensitized (SF6) oxidation of tetrafluoroethene with molecular O2(3Σ) reveal quite different features for this reaction compared with oxidation conducted in hot wall reactors. The laser-driven oxidation is accompanied by chemiluminescence and is suggested to proceed via an intermediate dioxetane to yield solely carbonyl fluoride. At higher pressures reaction occurs as an explosion with a lower pressure limit significantly different from that for hot-tube reactions and affords COF2, CF4, SOF2, and CO.Keywords
