The bimolecular rate coefficients and ion products for the reactions of H3O+ and H2O+ with the bromine-containing molecules CF3Br, CF2Br2, CF2BrCl, CFBr3, CFBr2Cl, and CBrCl3 at 300 K are reported. With the exception of the reactions of H3O+ with CF3Br and CF2BrCl, the rate coefficients are near the collisional values (k approximate to 10(-9) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1)). The most efficient exit pathway for the majority of the H3O+ reactions is the formation of a trihalomethyl cation, together with water and a hydrogen halide as the neutral products. In each case, more than one trihalomethyl cation can be formed. The branching ratios are largest for the products resulting from the breaking of a C-F bond. This is attributed to the high bond strength of HF relative to HCl and HBr. Similarly for CBrCl3, the major product cation is CCl2Br+. The H2O+ reactions are found to proceed predominantly via charge transfer. For the reaction of H2O+ with CF3Br there is clear evidence for intimate reaction pathways in which bonds are broken and formed.
