Atmospheric Fate of Hydrofluoroethers: Degradation of Parent Compounds and Primary Products by Multiple Oxidants
Hydrofluoroethers (HFEs) are widely used as substitutes for ozone-depleting substances, yet their atmospheric fate remains poorly understood. We investigated the gas-phase degradation of HFE-7100 (C4F9OCH3) and HFE-7200 (C4F9OC2H5) by OH, Cl, and NO3 at 298 K. The measured OH and Cl rate coefficients were consistent...
