Abstract
The dynamics of the O ( 1 D ) + CHF 2 Cl → OH + CF 2 Cl reaction were investigated at a center-of-mass (c.m.) collision energy of 0.64 eV using O( 1 D) atoms generated by laser photolysis of N 2 O at 193 nm. OH products were detected under single collision conditions by laser-induced fluorescence and nascent OH( v = 0, 1) rotational distributions were derived. The OH( v = 0)/OH( v = 1) branching ratio wwas determined to be 1.19. The OH spin-orbit states as well as the λ-double states were found to be equally populated in the reaction. The absolute reaction cross section σ R (E c.m. = 0.64 eV ) = 0.21 ± 0.05 A ̊ 2 , was determined and a possible reaction mechanism is discussed.
