Abstract
Reaction of SF6 with CO was initiated with a cw CO2 laser and shown to represent a system of two competitive consecutive reactions, namely the reaction between SF6 and CO affording COF2 and SF4, and the reaction between SF4 and CO leading to SOF2 and CF4. The former, major, reaction is favored with lower consumption of SF6 and lower SF6/CO ratio in the initial SF6-CO mixture.
