Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/j100254a019

Kinetics of the isomerisation of hexafluoro-1,3-butadiene have been studied in the past by standard pyrolysis and by shock tubes, with conflicting results.The present study indicates that the pyrolysis results are correct and also indicates that vibrational-translational energy in hexafluoro-1,3-butadiene occurs through a vibrational mode that is nearly harmonic.
