Atmospheric degradation mechanism of Z/E-CF3CF=CHCl, CF3CF=CCl2, and CF2=CFCl initiated by OH radicals using a smog chamber with long-path FT-IR at 298 K

The products and mechanism for the OH-initiated reaction with the Cl-containing fluoroolefins Z/E-CF3CF=CHCl, CF3CF=CCl2, and CF2=CFCl were investigated, using a smog chamber linked to a Fourier-transform infrared spectrometer. That Cl atoms were generated from Cl-containing fluoroolefin reactions with OH radicals was proven, and significant acceleration was observed during the experiments. The corresponding Cl-initiated reaction products were...
