Abstract
The rate constants for the following reactions have been determined by mass spectrometric measurements following flash photolysis of CH3I/N2F4/(NF2)/N2 gas mixtures: CH3 + N2F4 → CH3NF2 + NF2, k1 = 6.7 ± 0.8 × 10−12 cc/molecule · sec (1), and CH3 + NF2(+M) → CH3NF2, k2 = 2.0 ± 1.1 × 10−12 cc/molecule · sec (2). The measurements were made near room temperature (40 °C) with sufficient N2 buffer gas to insure that only ground-state methyl radicals were reacting. Changes in the buffer-gas pressure did not change the observed second-order rate constant k2. This result is consistent with the rapid HF elimination from CH3NF2 that has been estimated for Reaction (2).
