Popis: The differences in the dynamic behaviour of 1,1,2-trichlorotrifluoroethane over fluorinated alumina or chromia catalysts at moderate temperatures are significant. Alumina-based catalysts favour the isomerization of CCl 2 FCClF 2 followed by the dismutation of CCl 3 CF 3 so formed. Fluorinated chromias are less selective since halogen exchange and isomerization reactions both occur. An explanation in terms of the differences in AlX, X=Cl or F, bond energies compared with their CrX counterparts is suggested. The identity of the catalyst precursor has little effect in the chromium case and no effect in the case of aluminium.
