<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>Hydrogen abstraction reactions from hydrofluorocarbons are important reaction steps in both atmospheric and combustion chemistry. In this study, kinetics of the H-abstraction reactions from methane, ethane, fluoromethanes, and fluoroethanes by H, O, and OH radicals are investigated using the CBS-QB3//ωB97X-D quantum chemical method and transition state theory, and the site-specific reactivity of the fluoroalkanes systematically examined. The calculated rate constants for these reactions are found to accurately reproduce available experimental data for a wide temperature range, with only minor differences between experimental and theoretical barrier heights. Analysis of site-specific reactivity indicates that fluorine substitution at the β-carbon site of the fluoroalkanes systematically increases the barrier heights of H-abstraction, and the substitution effect at the α-carbon site can be interpreted by electron-withdrawing and steric effects. Fluorine substitution also decreases the pre-exponential factor for the H-abstraction reactions by O and OH radicals due to steric and electrostatic interactions between these radicals and the F atoms.</jats:p>
