Summary
The primary goal of this study was to determine the first order reaction rate of gaseous pefluorooctanesulfonylfluoride (hereafter, POSF) with the gaseous hydroxyl radical (hereafter, OH) at one atmosphere total pressure and 33" C. Several publications''2* 3* describing related measurementsformed the experimental and theoretical basis of this study. Members of the 3M Environmental Laboratory and other contributing personnel developed the equipment and analytical techniques required to perform the study. Our results are based on the relative.gaseousconcentrationsof POSF and the reference compound monochloromethane(hereafter, CH&l) in the presenceof the OH radical. We performed the concentration measurements using continuous, in-situ Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic techniques. The study data generally indicate that no reactions between POSF and the OH radical occur in the gas phase. Within first order kinetic theory, and in conjunction with the results of independent studies of Cl-hCl and OH, the results of one run (only)performed in this study establish an estimated minimum half-life of POSF related to its reactions with the QH radical. That estimate is, under typical tropospheric conditions, 3.7 years.

Introduction
The environmental mobility and fate of a chemical are controlled by a number of natural processes,including volatilization, bioaccumulation,biodegradation,oxidation, reduction, hydrolysis, and photolysis. This work concerns the rate of indirect photolysis of the gaseous form of the compound POSF through its reactions with the gaseous hydroxyl radical OH. Figure Iillustrates the structure of POSF.
"Indirect photolysis" is the process by which gas phase radicals are formed in the atmosphere in presence of ultraviolet (UV) radiation and subsequently react with other chemical species. The gas phase reaction with the hydroxyl radical OH is one of several mechanisms by which organic compounds, both natural and synthetic, decompose in the environment. The radical OH and other radicals are present in the troposphere, but only at concentrations below the detection limits of most continuous analytical methods.
This work describes an experimental investigationof the indirect photolysis of POSF.
The gas test matrix employed in this study consisted of percent levels of 02H,20,03,
and He, as well as the compounds C&Cl and POSF at levels below 100 ppm. The matrix was subject to UV and visible radiationin the h 2 200 nm wavelength range. Reference 1 describes in detail the reactions by which the OH radical is produced under such conditions.

Kinetics Model
As mentioned above, OH radicals exist in the troposphere at concentrations below the detection limits of most continuous analytical methods; this is often true even in the most carefully prepared laboratorygas matrices. However, the concentrationof the OH radical in a well-characterizedtest matrix can be indirectlydeterminedfrom behavior of a reference compound R (in this study, Cl-hCI) for which the first-order OH reaction rate constant k,, is already well known. As described below, this approach allows an estimate of the first-order rate constant k,, for the analyte A (in this study, POSF).
In the experiments described here, we introducedozone (03a)nd water (bo)into a
series of the test matrices containing POSF and Ci-&CI; when subject to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, these first two molecules react to form the OH radical.' The OH radical can then react with and photolyticallydegrade the analyte and the reference compounds. We noted minor losses in the concentrations of ozone [0,] ,the analyte [A], and the
reference compound [R]in the absence of UV radiation;we assume below that these
losses were caused by adsorption to or reactions between these compounds and the reaction chamber walls.
A model describing the reactions, the first order (or pseudo-first order) rate laws, and the rate constants considered in this work are described below.

presence of the UV radiation except through the described mechanisms involving the hydroxyl radical. Equation 10 also assumes that water is present in excess.
In each experimental run, the UV intensity and the concentration [OH] were zero for the
period 0 I t I t'and non-zero for times t > t' . Equations describing the measured
quantities [O,] , [R] , and[A] as a function of time for each of these conditions are derived below.
According to Equations 9 through 12, the differential equations governing the O3
concentrations are
( 0 It It')
Eq. (13a)
(t>t')
Eq. (13b)
where the subscript t denotes the concentrations at all times. The solutions to these equations are
(0 It It')
Eq. (14a)
(t>t')
Eq. (14b)
where the subscripts 0 and t' and denote the concentrations at times t = 0 and t = t' .
We assume below that, under each experimental condition and only in the presence of UV radiation, the OH concentration is proportional to the O3concentration. Although the
radical OH is extremely reactive, this is a reasonable assumption for our description of
the reactions of Equations 1 and 5. The hydroxyl radical concentration is then given by the following expressions:
[OH] = 0
(0 It It')
Eq. (15a)
where a is constant and we have employed the initial condition [OH]tt = a[03t,] at
time t = t'.

According to the reaction model and assumptions described above, the differential equations governing the analyte concentrations are
(0 I t It')
Eq. (16a)
Direct integrationof Equation 16a gives the solutionfor 0 It It' (UV = 0):

Subject to the conditionthat ko, +ko2 # 0 , direct integrationof Equation 16b gives the general solution of Equation 16b for t > t' (UV $0):

For t > t' , Equations 19 and 21 yield the following expression for the ratio k,,/k,, :
- =._.
in which the four quantities relatedto [A] and [R] are experimentallyaccessible. When k,, = k,, = 0 , an estimate of the ratio k,,/kR1can be directly calculatedfrom the observed concentrations3. In our experiments, the conditionk,, = k,, = 0 did not hold. Therefore, Equation 22
and our experimental data do not provide an accurate estimate of the ratio k,,/k,, .
Accordingly, we used Equations 3,4, 11, and 13 in a series of direct least-squares analyses. In these analyses, we adjusted the parameters representingthe rate constants of Equations2,4,6,8, I O , and 12 accordingto the differences between the observed and calculated values of the concentrations [A] , [R] , and [O,] . Equations 14, 17, 19,20, and 21 generated the calculated concentrations, and values of the parameters were varied to the minimize the sum square error (SSE)
where the index m indicates the three observed compounds POSF, CH&l,and O3(m = 1 to 3, respectively)and the indexj enumerates the normalized concentrationsAh and
their least squares estimates Ah. The normalized concentrationsare the observed
concentrations divided by each compound's initial (t = 0) concentration.

Materials and Methods
Method Summary We prepared and analyzed the samples included in this study between August 8 and August 24,2000; our techniques were based on those described in References 1,2,3, and 4. We performed all the measurementsdescribed here in a combination reaction chamber and infrared absorption cell developed and patented by 3M Corporation5. For
this study, the cell was equipped with a capacitance barometer (Kurt J. Lesker
Company, Model KJL-902056) and a polished, semkonductor-grade quartz window (Glass Tech Supplies, Inc.) through which UV radiation from a broad-band discharge lamp (Ariel Inc., Model#6269) was introducedto the reagent gases. The temperatureof the chamber was maintained at 33C. Except for the infrared mirror faces, we manually cleaned the interior surfaces of the cell with acetone before each sample preparation. We added reagentsto the chamber after first evacuating it to pressuresbelow 100 mTorr, and determined the resulting mixture concentrationsfrom the original gas
standard concentrations and the barometric measurements. We generated O3by illuminating a 40% - 60% gaseous mixture of O2and helium (He) with a short-
wavelength UV source in a separate reaction chamber (Therm0 Environmental, Inc. NO, Analyzer, Model 42C) and transferred the resulting gas, which contained approximately
1% OB,to the reaction chamber/lR absorption cell.

The reaction chamber/lR absorption cell provides an infrared absorption pathlength of 10 metersfor monitoringthe reagent concentrations. We used a MIDACTMModel 12001
FTlR spectrometer and associated software (AutoQuanP V3.11) to acquire infrared
absorbance spectra of the gaseous mixtures. The nominal spectral resolution of the system is 0.5 cm-', and it employs a mercury-cadmium-telluride (MCT) detector operated at 77K. We confirmed the system absorption pathlength through comparisons of experimental spectra to those of the National Institutefor Standards and Technology (NIST) spectral database spectrum of ethylene.
We determined relative concentrations of POSF, CH&I, and O3using a classical least
squares (CLS) spectral analysis technique within AutoQuantnV'.The analytical regions
employed (in cm-') were 1101.6 - 1320.7,2824.5- 3012.7, and 2052.5- 2141.7,
respectively; all these analyses employed linear baseline corrections. Appendix A portrays the CLS results; Appendix B illustrates the reference spectra and analytical
regions. The concentration values of Appendix A have been independently and
arbitrarily scaled to allow a clear graphical representationof the concentrationtrends,
and do not represent the actual concentrations.
The actual volumetric part-per-millionconcentrationsof the three compoundson which we have based our results varied greatly over the required control and sample conditions. To avoid bias in the least squares analyses, which are sensitive to the absolute concentration values, we normalized each concentration by dividing it by the first concentrationvalue used in the analyses. These normalized concentrations are represented in the figures of Appendix C, which also illustrate our analytical results.

Table 3 demonstratesthe variability in the parameters cA,,, f,, , and Ko2 over the
course of our experiments. These parameters describe losses of the compounds that are not related to the presence of UV radiation, and may have been caused by interactions with the sample chamber walls. As described above, the magnitude and variability of these parameters prevent accurate application of Equation 22. The least squares results of Table 3 are based on a single mathematical constraint, namely,
thatKAwl as required to remain non-negative.
In all but one case (that of control condition C4) the value of leading to the least squares solutions was "bound" to the value zero. This means that, in these cases, the
value kA=l 0 leads to the minimum model error ( SSE) under the (single) constraintEAl1 0, and that the majority of the experimental data (three control runs and
two sample runs) show no degradation of POSF. Therefore, the main finding of this work is that POSF does not undergo indirect photolysis in the presence of the hydroxyl radical.
The available data do not explain why the results of control condition C4, under which the concentration of the reference compound (CI-hCI) was elevated, should lead to a detectable decrease in the POSF concentration. A plausible explanation is that the reference compound, through either direct or indirect photolysis, produced other radicals (including, possibly,the CI radical) that do react with and lead to the degradationof POSF. Such an effect might only be apparent under conditions such as those of run C4, with relatively high C&Cl concentration.
If we nonetheless assume that the observed (Run C4) degradation was caused by the hydroxyl radical alone, then an estimate of the half-life of POSF related to its gas phase

Conclusions
We have performed a study of the indirect photolysisof perfluorooctanesulfonylfluoride (POSF) in the gas phase. The primary goal of this study was to determine a first order reaction rate constant describing the gas phase reactions between POSF and the hydroxyl radical at 33" C and one atmosphere total pressure. Our results are based on the relative gaseous concentrations of POSF and the reference compound monochloromethane (CH&I) in the presence of OH and ultraviolet (UV) radiation. We performed the concentration measurements using continuous, in-situ Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic techniques. Six of the seven control and sample runs we performed indicated no degradation of POSF in the presence of the OH radical. Therefore, our main finding is that reactions between POSF and the OH radical do not occur in the Earth's atmosphere. However, in one control run only, we observed a slight decrease in the POSF concentration. The relative rates of degradation of POSF and Cl-hCl observed in this single run, in conjunction with as a previously published' rate for the CI-&Cl- OH reaction, are consistent with a POSF half-life of 3.7 years in the presence of typical tropospheric concentrations of the OH radicaL4 It is likely that the actual atmospheric POSF half-life is longer, and potentially much longer, than 3.7 years.
