N2 - The kinetics of the self-reactions of HO2, CF3CFHO2, and CF3O2 radicals and the cross reactions of HO2 with FO2, HO2 with CF3CFHO2, and HO2 with CF3O2 radicals, were studied by pulse radiolysis combined with time resolved UV absorption spectroscopy at 295 K. The rate constants for these reactions were obtained by computer simulation of absorption transients monitored at 220, 230, and 240 nm. The following rate constants were obtained at 295 K and 1000 mbar total pressure of SF6 (unit: 10-12 cm3 molecule-1 s-1): k(HO2 + HO2) = 3 5 ± 1.0, k(CF3CFHO2 + CF3CFHO2) = 3.5 ± 0.8, k(CF3O2 + CF3O2) = 2.25 ± 0.30, k(HO2 + FO2) = 9 ± 4, k(CF3CFHO2 + HO2) = 5.0 ± 1.5, and k(CF3O2 + HO2) = 4.0 ± 20. In addition, the decomposition rate of CF3CFHO radicals was estimated to be (0.2-2) × 103 s-1 in 1000 mbar of SF6. Results are discussed in the context of the atmospheric chemistry of hy-drofluorocarbons.
