Abstract:

The deactivation rate coefficients for the removal of DFv equal 3 and DFv equal 4 by H and D atoms have been measured at 295 K by the technique of laser-induced fluorescence in a discharge flow-tube apparatus. The rate coefficients were found to increase dramatically with vibrational level v. Data obtained for the removal of DFv equal 4 in the presence of H atoms have been used to infer a rate coefficient of 5 plus or minus 2 x 1011 cubic centimetersmol-s for the reaction H plus DFv equal 4 yield HD plus F.
