The atmospherically and environmentally important reaction of chlorinated vinyl radical with nitrogen dioxide (C 2Cl 3 + NO 2) is investigated by step-scan time-resolved Fourier transform infrared emission spectroscopy and electronic structure calculations. Vibrationally excited products of CO, NO, Cl 2CO, and NO 2 are observed in the IR emission spectra. Geometries of the major intermediates and transition states along the potential energy surface are optimized at the B3LYP/6-311G(d) level, and their energies are refined at the CCSD(T)/6-311+G(d) level. The reaction mechanisms are characterized to be barrierless addition-elimination via nitro (C 2Cl 3-NO 2) and nitrite (C 2Cl 3-ONO) adducts. Four energetically accessible reaction routes are revealed, i.e., the decomposition of the nitrite adduct forming C 2Cl 3O + NO and its sequential dissociation to CO + NO + CCl 3, the elimination of ClNO from the nitrite adduct leading to ClNO + Cl 2CCO, the Cl-atom shift of the nitrite adduct followed by the decomposition to CCl 3CO + NO, and the O-atom shift of the nitro adduct followed by C-C bond cleavage forming ClCNO + Cl 2CO. In competition with these reactive fluxes, the back-decomposition of nitro or nitrite adducts leads to the prompt formation of vibrationally excited NO 2 and the long-lived reaction adducts facilitate the vibrational energy transfer. Moreover, the product channels and mechanisms of the C 2Cl 3 + NO 2 reaction are compared with the C 2H 3 + NO 2 reaction to explore the effect of chlorine substitution. It is found that the two reactions mainly differ in the initial addition preferentially by the N-attack forming nitro adducts (only N-attack is plausible for the C 2H 3 + NO 2 reaction) or the O-attack forming nitrite adducts (O-attack is slightly more favorable and N-attack is also plausible for the C 2Cl 3 + NO 2 reaction). The addition selectivity can be fundamentally correlated to the variation of the charge density of the end carbon atom of the double bond induced by chlorine substitution due to the electron-withdrawing effect of chlorine groups.
