Laser-induced fluorescence of radicals produced in reactions of halogenated ethylenes with atomic oxygen
Three new laser-induced fluorescence spectra have been observed when reacting oxygen atoms with halogenated ethylenes such as CHFCF2, CF2CHCl, CH2CCl2, CH2CHCl, and CHClCHCl. These new spectra are similar to those reported previously for the vinery (CH2CHO) and CH2CFO radicals, which suggests that they can be assigned to other halogenated vinery-type radicals. Recently Williams and Fleming assigned one of these LIF spectra to the FCO radical; additional experiments have been done to address this conflicting assignment.
