Thermochemical and chemical kinetic data for fluorinated hydrocarbons

"The thermochemical and chemical kinetic data presented here were compiled as a part of flame-inhibition modeling work that was part of a large, short-term, intensive effort at NIST (Grosshandler et al., 1994) that evaluated (for the U.S. Air Force, Navy, Army and Federal Aviation Administration) potential fluorinated hydrocarbons and other agents as replacements for Halon 1301 (CF3Br). The modeling effort complemented the many experimental measurements in the overall NIST program, which characterized the effectiveness of various potential replacements. Our work focused on agent chemistry. This report is to provide documentation of the thermochemical and chemical kinetic data used in the modeling work. Further details of the evaluation of the thermochemical and chemical kinetic data and the ab initio calculations will be provided elsewhere, as will the results of the simulations of flame inhibition."--Introduction.
