CF3I has been widely used in the fields such as refrigerants, etching agents, foaming agents, fire extinguishing agents and organic fluorine industry. By reacting CHF3 with I2 in the presence of a catalyst, CHF3 can transform into CF3I. Aiming at this catalytic process, possible reaction pathways for the generation of CF3 (an important intermediate), CF4 (a main byproduct) and coke (an important reason for the catalyst deactivation) are investigated with quantum chemistry methods using density functional theory (DFT). The results show that CF2 and CF3 could abstract the fluorine from CFCF3 in multisteps over graphite(001) surface to afford CF3, CF4 and C2 radical respectively. It is also found that the coke deposition in experiments is due to the above fluorine abstraction. The suggested mechanism is in agreement with available experimental data and theoretical computations.
