An investigation of the ozonolysis of perfluoroethylene in Freon 113 solvent has led to a microwave assignment of perfluoroethylene oxide. The rotational constants (MHz) obtained from a rigid rotor fit are: A$ = 4336.51 \pm 0.01, B = 2553.99 \pm 0.01$ and C$ = 1949.84 \pm 0.02$. In agreement with an earlier $report,^{1}$ perfluoroethylene oxide and carbonyl fluoride are major volatile products. These results are in contrast to vinyl $fluoride^{2}$ and 1,1-$difluoroethylene^{3}$ where ozonides are the dominant products and no epoxides have bean identified. They differ from 1,2-difluoroethylene where ozonides and epoxide are the major $products.^{4}$. | |||||||||
