font face="Novarese-Book" size="1"> The thermal decomposition of trifluoromethoxycarbonyl peroxy nitrate, CF3OC(O)O2NO2, has been studied between 278 and 306 K at 270 mbar total pressure using He as a diluent gas. The pressure dependence of the reaction was also studied at 292 K between 1.2 and 270 mbar total pressure. The rate constant reaches its high-pressure limit at 70 mbar. The first step of the decomposition leads to CF3OC(O)O2 and NO2 formation, that is, CF
