The reactions of 2H-heptafluoropropane (CF 3 CHFCF 3 , HFC-227ea) with O( 3 P) and H atoms have been studied at high temperatures by using a shock tube technique coupled with atomic resonance absorption spectroscopy. Electronically ground-state oxygen and hydrogen atoms were produced by the laser photolysis of sulfur dioxide and the thermal decomposition of ethyl iodide, respectively. The rate coefficients for the reactions CF 3 -CHFCF 3 + O( 3 P) → i-C 3 F 7 + OH (la) and CF 3 CHFCF 3 + H → i-C 3 F 7 + H 2 (2a) were experimentally determined from the decay of O( 3 P) and H atoms as k 1 a = 10 - 1 0 . 2 7 ′ 0 . 6 7 exp[-(56 ′ 13) kJ mol - 1 /RT] cm 3 molecule - 1 s - 1 (880-1180 K) and k 2 a = 10 - 9 . 1 5 ′ 0 . 6 6 exp[-(63 ′ 14) kJ mol - 1 /RT] cm 3 molecule - 1 s - 1 (1000-1180 K). These results showed that reaction 2a was faster than reaction 1a by a factor of 7-8 over the present experimental temperature range. Both rate coefficients were much smaller than the previous kinetic data for the reactions of propane with O( 3 P) and H atoms, because of an electron-attracting effect of fluorine atoms. To compare the reactivities between isomers, the rate coefficients for the reactions of 1H-heptafluoropropane, CHF 2 CF 2 CF 3 + O( 3 P) → n-C 3 F 7 + OH (3a) and CHF 2 CF 2 CF 3 + H → n-C 3 F 7 + H 2 (4a), were also determined by using the same technique as k 3 a = 10 - 1 0 . 1 3 ′ 0 . 5 2 exp[-(55 ′ 10) kJ mol - 1 /RT] cm 3 molecule - 1 s - 1 (880-1180 K) and k 4 a = 10 - 9 . 4 4 ′ 0 . 3 2 exp[-(57 ′ 7) kJ mol - 1 /RT] cm 3 molecule - 1 s - 1 (1000-1180 K). Furthermore, the rate coefficients for reactions la and 2a were calculated with the transition-state theory (TST). Structural parameters and vibrational frequencies of the reactants and the transition states required for the TST calculation were obtained from the MP2(full)/6-31G(d) ab initio molecular orbital (MO) calculation. The energy barrier, E 0 , was adjusted until the TST rate coefficient most closely matched the observed one. The fitting results of E 0 (1a) = 51 kJ mol - 1 and E 0 (2a) = 41 kJ mol - 1 were in agreement with the G2(MP2) energy barriers, within the expected uncertainty.
