Kinetics of the unimolecular thermal dehydrofluorination of 1,1-difluoroethane in a flow reactor is reported. The first-order rate constant is determined; logk[1/c]=(-60,000{plus_minus}2000)/4.569{center_dot}T + 13.33{plus_minus}0.10. 1,1-Difluoroethylene, as a by-product of the pyrolysis of 1,1-difluoroethane, is formed by a radical mechanism, for which a heterogeneous, initiation state is proposed. MNDO calculations show the predominant formation of the CH{sub 3}-CF{sub 2} radical at the initiation stage. For this radical, rate constants of unimolecular 1{r_arrow}2 and 2{r_arrow}1 hydrogen shifts are determined within the framework of the PPKM statistical theory. 17 refs., 4 figs., 2 tabs.
