Product distribution and mechanism of the OH^- initiated tropospheric degradation of three CFC replacement candidates: CH₃CF[double bond, length as m-dash]CH₂, (CF₃)₂C[double bond, length as m-dash]CH₂ and (E/Z)-CF₃CF[double bond, length as m-dash]CHF.

ABSTRACT: The OH radical initiated photodegradation of 2-fluoropropene (CH₃CF[double bond, length as m-dash]CH₂), 3,3,3-trifluoro-2-(tri-fluoromethyl)propene ((CF₃)₂C[double bond, length as m-dash]CH₂) and (E/Z)-1,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropene ((E/Z)-CF₃CF[double bond, length as m-dash]CHF) has been investigated for the first time using a 1080 L quartz-glass environmental chamber at 298 ± 2 K and atmospheric pressure of synthetic air coupled with in situ FTIR spectroscopy to monitor reactants and products. The major products observed in the OH reaction were CH₃C(O)F (98 ± 5)% together with HC(O)H (89 ± 7)% as a co-product, CF₃C(O)F (103 ± 8)% together with HC(O)F (96 ± 7)% as a co-
