The kinetics of reaction 1, CCl3 + O2 + M --> CCl3O2 + M, has been investigated in detail as a function of temperature and over a large pressure range. At low pressure, 0.8-12 Torr, the reaction was investigated by laser photolysis and time-resolved mass spectrometry, while at high pressure (760 Torr), flash photolysis with UV absorption spectrometry was employed. At the low-pressure limit, the rate expression, k1(0) = (1.6 +/- 0.3) x 10(-30)(T/298)-(6.3 +/- 0.5) cm6 molecule-2 s-1 (M = N2), exhibits a quite strong negative temperature coefficient. The obtained strong collision rate expression, 7.0 x 10(-30)(T/298)-4.3 cm6 molecule-2 s-1, using either RRKM calculations or Troe's factorized expression, is unable to reproduce the experimental temperature dependence, unless an unreasonably strong temperature dependence is assigned to the collisional efficiency factor: beta-c = 0.23(T/298)-2.0 (M = N2). Similar results are obtained for other chlorofluoromethyl radicals. The falloff curves were constructed by using RRKM calculations obtained by adjusting beta-c and the transition-state model, in order to reproduce the experimental data. The rate expression at the high-pressure limit was derived from these calculations k1(infinity) = (3.2 +/- 0.7) x 10(-12)(T/298)-(1.2 +/- 0.4) cm3 molecule-1 s-1. All the parameters to be used in Troe's analytical expression for calculating the bimolecular rate constant at any pressure and temperature are given. The rate constant at the low-pressure limit k1(0) is more than an order of magnitude lower than for the CF3 radical. The RRKM calculations show that this arises from a large difference in the C-O bond dissociation energies in the corresponding peroxy radicals: 81.9 kJ mol-1 for CCl3O2 instead of almost-equal-to 145 kJ mol-1 for CF3O2.
