PG - 124556 LID - S0045-6535(19)31780-1 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2019.124556 [doi] AB - Degradation of hydrofluoro-olefins (HFOs) with oxidants plays a significant role in the troposphere. Thus, we have investigated detail theoretical calculations of hydroxyl radical ((*)OH) initiated oxidation of 2-fluoropropene (CH(3)CFCH(2)) using M06-2X/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory. Here, we have considered different possible H-abstraction and OH addition for the degradation of CH(3)CFCH(2) molecule. The potential energy analysis shows that OH-addition channels are more dominant than H-abstraction channels. The calculated reaction enthalpies (Delta(r)H degrees ) and Gibbs free energies (Delta(r)G degrees ) also suggest that OH-addition reaction channels are more favourable than H-abstraction channels. The overall rate coefficients for CH(3)CFCH(2) + (*)OH reaction is calculated within the temperature range of 250-450 K. The observed overall rate coefficient (2.01 x 10(-11) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1)) at 298 K for the titled reaction is found to be in good agreement with the earlier reported experimental rate coefficient. The calculated percentage branching ratio shows that the contribution of OH-addition to alpha-carbon and beta-carbon of CH(3)CFCH(2) molecule are 85.10% and 14.20% to the overall rate coefficient while H-abstractions have a negligible contribution. Based on the kinetics calculations, the atmospheric lifetime of the titled molecule is found to be 0.6 days. Further, we have also explored the degradation pathways of OH-addition product radicals and found acetyl fluoride (CH(3)CFO) and formaldehyde (HCHO) are the end degradation products.
