Quantum mechanical ab initio calculations have been performed at various levels of theory to study kinetics of the reactions of fluorine, chlorine and bromine atoms with trifluoromethanol. Total energies were improved by using Gaussian-2 (G2) methodology. It is shown that the considered reactions proceed with formation of intermediate complexes. The mechanism of the reactions studied appears to be more complex and may consist of three elementary steps. The heights of the calculated energy barriers explain the differences of the reactivity of F, C1 and Br atoms towards CFsOH. The rate constants and their temperature dependence for the reactions CFsOH + X (fcx) and CFaO + HX (kfix) were calculated. The derived analytical expressions [chemical formulas] allow the description of the kinetics of the reactions under investigation. This is of considerable importance for the chemical modelling studies because of the lack of experimental measurements.
