1,1,1-Trifluoroethane has been decomposed in comparative rate single-pulse shock-tube experiments. The rate expression for elimination at ca. 2.5 bar and in the temperature range of 1050 to 1200 K has been found to be\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \it k\rm (CF_{3}\joinrel{\relbar\!\!\relbar}CH_{3}\relbar\!\!\rightarrow HF+CF_{2}=CH_{2})=7.0\times 10^{14}\ exp(-37260/T)s^{-1} $\end{document}The experimental conditions appear to be such that the unimolecular reaction is at the beginning of the fall-off region and we find that for step sizes down between 500 and 1000 cm-1 the high-pressure rate expression is in the range\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \it k\rm (CF_{3}\joinrel{\relbar\!\!\relbar}CH_{3}\relbar\!\!\rightarrow HF+CF_{2}=CH_{2})=2.0\times 10^{15}\ exp(-38300/T)\ to\ 4\ \times\ 10^{15}\ exp(-39000/T)s^{-1} $\end{document}where the smaller rate parameters refer to the larger step size down. The results are compared with those from an earlier study and the anomalously high A-factor is noted. It is suggested that the existing rate expressions for the fluorinated ethanes may need to be reevaluated. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc., Int J Chem Kinet: 30: 621-628, 1998
