Abstract

The light-induced addition of perfluoropropyl iodide to fluoro-ethylenes in the gas phase C3F7·+RCH=CH2→C 3F7CH2ĊHR (2) has been studied, and activation parameters determined by a competitive method. The corresponding differences found are: ΔE2(kcal mol-1) Δ(log A2)(l. mol-1 s-1) C*F2=CFH: C*FH=CF2 1.04±0.36 0.07±0.02 C*F 2=CH2:C*H2=CF2 5.52±1.06 -0.89±0.11 C*FH=CH2:C*H 2=CFH 2.25±0.66 0.18±0.06 C*H2=CFH: C*H2=CH2 0.79±0.43 0.09±0.04 C*H2=CF2:CH2=CH2 2.67±0.30 -0.66±0.02 C*FH=CF2:C*H 2=CF2 0.38±0.22 0.44±0.02 C*F 2=CF2:C*H2=CH2 4.67±1.50 -1.56±0.12. The most striking feature is the similarity to the results for addition of bromotrichloromethane to the same olefins. Relationships between activation energies and some theoretical quantities are discussed.
