A kinetic study of the reactions of OH radicals with a series of fluoroethanes in the gas phase is presented. OH radicals were generated by flash photolysis of H2O vapor in the vacuum uv (λ > 165 nm) and were monitored in absorption by time-resolved attenuation of resonance radiation at 308.15 nm [OH(A2Σ+ → X2Π)]. The following absolute rate constants (in units of 109 cm3mol−1 s−1 at the 95% confidence limit) were determined at [Formula: see text][Formula: see text][Formula: see text][Formula: see text][Formula: see text]From a linear correlation of the present and previously published rate constants with bond dissociation energies, the following quantities (in kcal mol−1 at 298 K) were estimated to be: D(CH3CHF—H) = 96.3 ± 1.5, D(CH2FCHF—H = 98.8 ± 1.0, D(CF3CHF—H) = 103.5 ± 1.0, D(CHF2CF2—H) = 103.0 ± 1.5, and [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]

The gas-phase strengths of the SO3—X- bonds (X = Cl, Br, and I) have been determined to be 222 ± 13, 179 ± 11, and 161 ± 9 kJ/mol, respectively, by measuring thresholds for collision-induced dissociation in a flowing afterglow-tandem mass spectrometer. An upper limit of D(SO3—F–) ≤ 488 ± 19 kJ/mol was also determined. The periodic trends in the halide affinities of SO3 closely parallel those for SO2 and other Lewis acids. Bond strengths computed using the B3LYP, MP2, QCISD(T), and other models with several basis sets are generally lower than experiment.Key words: bond dissociation energies, computational chemistry, Lewis acids, superacids, halide affinities.

Absolute rate constants of hydrogen and deuterium atom abstraction by OH and OD radicals from n-C4H10, n-C4D10, H2 and D2, and by OH radicals from neo-C5H12 have been measured at room temperature in the gas phase using the flash photolysis-resonance absorption technique. The rate constants in units of cm3 mol−1 s−1 were found to be:[Formula: see text]The quoted errors are the 95% confidence limits. A kinetic isotope effect was observed when hydrogen was replaced by deuterium in the paraffin and H2, whereas there was no significant effect when OH was replaced by OD.

A fast flash photolysis kinetic spectrophotometer capable of measuring rates of up to 105 s−1 is described. The rates of hydrogen abstraction from H2, CH4, C2H6, and C3H8 by OH radicals at 295 ± 2 K, have been measured in the gas phase by hydroxyl resonance absorption spectrophotometry. The influence of secondary reactions on the measured rates and the derivation of the absolute rate constants is discussed in detail.The absolute rate constants in units of cm3 mol−1 s−1 were found to be: [Formula: see text][Formula: see text][Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]
