Reactions of perfluoroethyl radicals with ethane, n-butane and isobutane

Abstract
The reactions of C2F5 radicals with ethane, n-butane and isobutane have been studied, using perfluoroethyl iodide as the free radical source. All rate constants are based on an assumed value of 1014cm3mol–1s–1 for the rate constant of C2F5 radical dimerization. The Arrhenius parameters measured are: [graphic omitted] Analysis of the alkyl iodides in the products allows calculation of the Arrhenius parameters for C2F5 attack at specific sites in the n-butane molecule, providing the values : [graphic omitted]
