摘要:
The most important decomposition channels of methyl hypofluorite are studied using high level quantum mechanical techniques. The calculated critical energy barriers show that the O-F bond scission and the two-center 1,2 HF elimination are the main decomposition pathways in analogy with the similar CH3OCl and CH3OBr systems. The principal decomposition products, H2CO + HF, are shown to be formed through two possible competing pathways, the synchronous single-step HF elimination and a two-step mechanism via the O-F bond breaking channel.
