Theoretical Study on Decomposition of CF3OH Catalyzed by Water Dimer and Ammonia

The G3 and CBS-QB3 theoretical methods are employed to study the decomposition of CF₃OH into FCFO and HF by water, water dimmer, and ammonia. The decomposition of CF₃OH into FCFO and HF is unlikely to occur in the atmosphere due to the high activated energy of 88.7 kJ/mol at the G3 level of theory. However, the computed results predict that the barrier for unimolecular decomposition of CF₃OH is decreased to 25.1 kJ/mol from 188.7 kJ/mol with the aid of NH₃ at the G3 level of theory, which shows that the ammonia play a strong catalytic effect on the split of CF₃OH. In addition, the calculated rate constants show that the decomposition of CF₃OH by NH₃ is faster than those of H₂O and the water dimmer by 109 and 105 times respectively. The rate constants combined with the corresponding concentrations of these species demonstrate that the reaction CF₃OH with NH₃ via TS4 is of great importance for the decomposition of CF₃OH in the atmosphere.
