The thermal decomposition of perfluoro‐di‐ t ‐butyl peroxide has been studied for the first time. The reaction was carried out in the gas phase between 5 and 600 torr in the 108‐149°C temperature region. The products consisted solely of C 2 F 6 and CF 3 COCF 3 . The decomposition was found to be first order and homogeneous. The rate constant is given by log k decomp (sec −1 ) = (16.2 ± 1.2) ‐ (148.7 4.4)/2.3 RT where R is 0.008314kJ/mol · °K. These Arrhenius parameters are consistent with those determined for the decomposition of di ‐ t ‐butyl peroxide.
