Abstract
This study investigates critical structure-reactivity relationships within 34 representative per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) undergoing defluorination with UV-generated hydrated electrons. While C nF2 n+1-COO- with variable fluoroalkyl chain lengths ( n = 2 to 10) exhibited a similar rate and extent of parent compound decay and defluorination, the reactions of telomeric C nF2 n+1-CH2CH2-COO- and C nF2 n+1-SO3- showed an apparent...
