Abstract
Difluoromethane (CH 2 F 2 ) is considered as an ecologically friendly alternative to conventionally used chlorofluorocarbons for various applications. Being photochemically inert in the broad UV range, this molecule can be decomposed only through the action of hard vacuum UV or ionizing radiation, while the corresponding mechanisms are poorly studied. In this work we report the results of model investigations of the X-ray induced decomposition of isolated CH 2 F 2 in solid noble gas matrices at 6 K. The radiation-chemical yields of difluoromethane were found to decrease from 1.3 to 0.1 molecule/100 eV with decreasing the ionization energy of matrix (from Ne to Xe), which indicates significance of the “hot” ionic channels. Difluorocarbene (CF 2 ) was detected as one of the principal radiolysis products in all the matrices, whereas the CHF⋯HF complex was detected in Ne, Ar, and Kr. Annealing of the irradiated samples results in thermally induced reactions of trapped H and F atoms yielding a number of various species, including the noble gas compounds. The radiolysis mechanism, nature of matrix effects and possible implications for atmospheric chemistry are discussed. • Radiolysis of CH 2 F 2 in solid noble gas matrices was investigated by FTIR spectroscopy. • The mechanism of CH 2 F 2 decomposition involving ionic and neutral pathways was proposed. • Thermal reactions of the radiolysis products with H and F atoms are considered. • Possible implications for atmospheric chemistry are outlined.
