Experimental investigation of the kinetics and mechanism of the reaction H + NF₂

The kinetics of the reaction H + NF₂ over a broad temperature range was investigated to ascertain the possibility of the development of F atoms in its products and the role of the secondary processes such as H + NF and NF + NF. The reaction was investigated by means of a combined EPR/LMR spectrometer under jet conditions. The experiments confirm the conclusions of other studies that the principal pathway of the reaction is a pathway involving the formation of NF radical.
