Temperature dependences of the reactions of O(3P) with chlorofluoroalkenes

Congreso; Faraday Discussion 130-Atmospheric Chemistry; 2005

Reactions of ground-state oxygen atoms, O(3P), with alkenes are of both fundamental and practical importance. O(3P) reactions are necessary to accurately model the early stages of smog formation in urban areas and are often important in atmospheric pressure chamber studies of alkenes reactions with OH. O(3P) reaction are also of central importance in combustion chemistry and serve as prototype systems for the addition reactions to the C=C bond.  Although a substantial body of kinetic data exists for O atoms reactions with a variety of alkenes, only limited information is available for haloalkenes, most of which has been reviewed by Cvetanovic.
