Theoretical study on the degradation reaction mechanism of elimination hydrogen fluoride from perfluoropropionic acid

This figure describes the multichannel degradation reaction of perfluoropropionic acid (PFPA, CF3CF2COOH) at the CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pvtz//B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level. From the schematic potential energy surface (PES) for the degradation of the perfluoropropionic acid, we can see all of the products.
