The reaction of CF~(%'AI)with 03 has been investigated in an isothermal flow reactor at temperatures between 300 and 600 K and pressures in the range 4 I P/mbar I5. CF2(%) was produced by a microwave discharge of CF,Brz/He mixtures and detected by laser-induced fluorescence (LIF). [CFz(%)](t) profiles were measured under pseudo-first-order conditions ([CF,(%)]o *: [03]0). The rate constant of the reaction CF2(%) 0 3 ( % ) products (1) was determined, kl(T) = 1.9 x 10l2exp(-(25 f 8) kJ mol-'/RT) cm3 mol-' s-' (300 IT/K d 600). An estimation of the rate constant for the reaction CF2(%) 02(X) products (2) can be given as k2(8OO K) I5 x lo6 cm3 mol-' s-I.

The tropospheric release of chlorofluoromethanes (CFCs) results in a transportation of these molecules into the upper atmosphere and stratosphere, due to their negligible removal in the lower atmosphere.' In the stratospherethe CFCs are broken down via photolysis by solar UV-radiation. The chlorine formed in the UV-photodissociation, leading to the catalytic chain reactions initiating the destruction of 0 3 by C1 atoms, was in the past the main Many fewer investigations deal with the fluorine-containing CFC radicals in the stratospheric photochemistry. Difluorocarbene in its electronic ground state (CF2(%)) is formed by photolysis of chlorofluorohydrocarbons in particular CFzClz in the strato~phere,63~ which is known as F-12, and released into the atmospheric in large quantities.

can be compared with the direct ozone depletion via reaction 1 only if kl(T) is known (see the Discussion Section). In reaction 1 the CF20t decompositionand thus the formation of very reactive fluorine atoms are energetically feasible. The rate constants of the direct reactions of CF2(2) with 0 3 and of 02 are essential for atmospheric models to make meaningful predictions, but also the products of these reactions have to be known.8 Besides the importance for the atmospheric photochemistry and the role of CF@) in the etching processes?Sl0 there is a basic interest in the reactivity of CF~(%'AI) as being one of the small carbenes. In comparison with the singlet carbenes CH2(1) and CHF(%), CF2(2) is a quite unreactive species. Whereas most reactions of CH2(9 and CHF(X) are fast, for the CF& only the rate constants of the reactions with 0,N, and H atoms are large, being on the order of 10l2 ~ m ~ / ( m o l * s ) . ' ~In -'~ comparison, the rate constants of reactions with stable molecules such as Cl2 ( k = 2.1 x lo9 cm3/(mol.s)), Br2 ( k = 1.6 x lo9 ~m~/(moP*s)),'~ and the oxidizing reagent NO2 (k = 4.53 x lo9 ~m~/(mol.s))'~ are low. For the reactions with the species 0 2 (k < 1 x lo7 cm3/(mol.s)), H2, or ethylene only upper limits are given in the literature.I4-l6 The reactivity of CF2 can be placed between the very reactive CHz radical, which quite often reacts in nearly every collision, and the isovalent CO molecule. At room temperature CO does not react with a measurable rate with stable species such as 0 2 ( k = 2.52 x 10l2exp(-199 ~ZJIRT)'~ or 0 3 (k(298 K) < 0.241 cm3/(moh)).'*. Therefore, it is of practical and theoretical interest to investigate the temperature dependence of the rate constant of the reactions of CF2(2) with ozone and oxygen. For the reaction CF@) 0 3 there are to our knowledge no direct rate data available in the literature. The reaction of CF@) with 02(X)has been measured at high temperature^'^-^' in shock wave experiments and at room temperature, leading to estimations for an upper limit.'0,'6322923 The aim of this work was to measure the temperature dependence of the rate of the reaction between CF2 and ozone,

Experimental Section The experimental arrangement is shown in Figure 1. An isothermal flow reactor consisting of a glass tube with an inner diameter of 5.5 cm and a length of 70 cm was used for the measurements. A movable probe, in which the CF2 radicals were produced, had an inner diameter of 2.2 cm. The total reactor was heated by a high-temperature thermostat (Julabo HT 3 (silicon oil)). The CF2 radicals were produced by dissociation of CF2Br2 diluted with He in a microwave discharge (Schafer Mikrotron 200; power 15 W). At concentrations smaller than 1% CF2Br2 in He, the dissociation of CF2Br2 is nearly c0mp1ete.I~ The CF2 radicals were detected by LIF, using a tunable dye laser (Lambda Physik LPD 3002) with Coumarin 307 (Ama = 508 nm) as the laser dye. The dye laser was pumped by the third harmonic (2 = 355 nm) of a Nd:YAG laser (Spectra Physics GCR 3). The dye laser frequency was doubled by a BBO crystal (Lambda Physik BBOI), separated from the fundamental by a Pellin Broca prism and coupled into the detection cell by a quartz plate at the Brewster angle with respect to the laser beam. In this work the A(0,2,0) %(O,O,O) transition was used with an excitation wavelength of 1 = 262.7 nm. The absorption cross section of CF@ A) is u = 1.37 x cm2.21 The spectral integral fluorescence was detected by a photomultiplier (Hamamtsu R 955) with an integrated preamplifier.

The signals were processed by a gated integrator and boxcar averager (Stanford Research System, SRS) and digitized and stored in a computer (IBM PC/AT). In order to increase the signal to noise ratio, signal averaging over 90 samples was performed. The ozone was produced from molecular oxygen with a commercially available ozonier (Argentox GL 10, 220 V, 0.7 A). O3 was absorbed on silica gel at the temperature of solid CO2 in two traps and thus separated from the oxygen. The ozone was then desorbed from the silica gel and transported by He into the reactor. In this way maximum 0 3 concentrations of [ 0 3 ] I3 x lo-’ mol/cm3 were achieved. The other gases with highest commercially available purity (He =- 99.9999% Messer Griesheim, 0 2 2 99.996% UCAR/ Messer Griesheim, CF2Br2 2 98% Merck-Schuchardt) were used without further purification. The absolute concentration of ozone was determined by UVabsorption measurements (250 I1/nm I3OOz8)by a photometer (Carl Zeiss PMQ3). The OdHe mixture passed a gas cuvette with an absorption length of Z = 30 cm (see Figure 1). The absolute concentration of ozone in the absorption cell was ]~ calculated using Lambert-Beer’s law: log Z/Zo = - E Z [ O ~with the parameters e(254 nm) = 3.22 x IO6 cm2/mol and ~(289.36 nm) = 4.232 x lo5 cm2/mol; I , transmission; lo, transmission of helium; and [O,],, concentration of ozone in the absorption cell (mol/cm3). The flow of ozone into the reactor is then @03 = [O~],@HJ(P,/RT, - [o,],), whereby P, is the total pressure and T, the temperature in the cell. Results The rate of the elementary reaction

In the absence of 0 3 a straight line in the ln[CF2] vs At plot is obtained (Figure 2), indicating that a first-order CF&) decay is dominant over the second-order contributions of reaction 4 and 5.

The difference between these values was negligible, indicating that the reactor wall was not changed by 0 3 with respect to the catalytic activity of the wall toward CF2(8). The average values of kw for each temperature are given in Table 1. The temperature dependence of the heterogeneous reaction, Le. y(T), can be described by an Arrhenius activation energy of approximately EA = 12 kJ/mol. The CF2(%) concentration profiles in the presence of 0 3 are shown in Figure 2, for four chosen 0 3 concentrations. The experimental details, flow velocity 0,initial CF2 concentration, and temperature between 300 and 600 K are summarized in Table 1. The pressure in all measurements was 4-5 mbar. The ln([CF21/[CF2]0} vs At plots are shown in Figure 2; [CF~IO is the initial CF2 concentration obtained by extrapolation. From the slope of the measured plots like those shown in Figure 2, the first-order rate constants were obtained. The plots of these first-order constants (keff) vs the ozone concentration are shown in Figure 3. For ozone the thermal decomposition has to be taken into consideration.

The experiments at high 0 3 concentrations are used to determine kl(573 K). The effects at T = 598 K are so large that a determination of kl(598 K) was not attempted. Straight lines in the bffvs [03]plots are observed for temperatures below T = 573 K.

CF2(2) does not react readily with 0 2 at room temperature.22 The rate coefficient k2 was determined at room temperature by following the transient absorption of CF2(%) after flash photolysis of C2F4 and C&, respectively.I6 The rate of the CF2 disappearance (via CF2 CF2 C2F4 (4)) was found to be independent of 0 2 pressure up to P(02) = 146 mbar. From this observation an upper limit k2(300 K) < 1 x lo7 cm3/(mol.s) was determined.

triplet state of CF202(ii3B1) is energetically below the reactants CF2(%) and 02(X). Thus, the observed activation energy points to a barrier for the triplet surface. The relative removal rates of CF2(%) by odd oxygen O(3P) and 0 3 can now be estimated for stratospheric conditions, i.e. at temperatures in the range 240-250 K at an altitude of about 30 km. The concentration ratio of ozone over 0 atoms during the daytime is about [03]/[0] = 105.35 After sunset the O(3P) concentration falls very rapidly, but also CF2(%) which is formed photolytically will disappear. An extrapolation of kl(T) of this work to stratospheric temperatures leads to kl(250 K) = 1.2 x IO7 cm3/(mol*s). The rate of the atom-radical reaction O CF2 products (8) can be assumed to be temperature independent. Thus, the destruction of odd oxygen in reaction 8 is still a factor of about 10 faster than in reaction 1; however, the total effect of reaction 1 on the ozone layer has to be determined in a detailed kinetic model.
