Abstract

The enthalpies of reaction and formation of gas phase fluorocarbons' reactions from the pyrolysis of hexafluoropropylene oxide (HFPO) are computed by the application of density functional theory. The pyrolysis of HFPO for the production of fluorocarbons proved to be an endothermic reaction. The polymerization of fluorocarbons established a linear relationship between the number of chain carbons and enthalpy of formation of fluorocarbons' chains.
