The Kinetic Parameters of Sequential Topochemical Reactions with Parallel Formation of Gaseous Products

Based on the example of solid-phase reactions of fullerenes with fluoride compounds of metals with a variable valence, the most important parameters of the kinetic model developed earlier by the author have been calculated. The model explains the selectivity of these reactions, which made it possible to obtain some C60 fullerene fluorine derivatives in an individual form, and opens ways to control them. For some of the reactions, a comparison was made with the data on the activation energy of elementary stages obtained earlier in the processing of mass spectral experiments. The estimates we made will contribute to the fine control of the conditions for a similar synthesis of other fullerene derivatives with small functional groups. They may also be useful in any long chain sequential reactions that produce broad gaseous or dissolved products.
