The HF infrared chemiluminescence from the reaction of F atoms with HMn(CO)/sub 5/ has been observed in a flow reactor. The nascent HF vibrational distribution is P/sub 1/-P/sub 4/ = 0.20:0.44:0.35: approx. 0.01, and is 0.31 for P/sub 0/ assigned to zero. The HF(v,J) populations do not extend to the thermochemical limit, and is abnormally low relative to typical H abstraction reaction by F atoms. The H abstraction reaction from toluene-d/sub 5/ was reinvestigated to provide a reference for a system yielding HF(v) and a product with a large radical stabilization energy. The D/sub 0/(CH/sub 3/C/sub 6/D/sub 4/-D) was estimated asless than or equal to 115.3 kcal mol/sup -1/, based upon the highest observed DF(v,J) level.
