PROPULSION RESEARCH PROGRAM. HYDRIDE AND FLUORIDE INVESTIGATIONS, PART II. FLUORIDE INVESTIGATIONS
Abstract
The work reported consisted mainly of experiments designed to prove the existence of the model compound R4N+SF %-, PREPARED BY REACTION of SF4 with R4N+F- at low temperatures. Stoichiometric determinations as a function of tim indicated the formation of a 1:1 complex. Further, the IR spectrum indicated that the product contained the R4N + cation and that a new compound was formed. However he results were obscured by the presence of considerable quantities of SOF2 and SiF4 in the SF4 reagent; it is possible that HF or lower fluorides were also pr se t. A practical method for purification of SF4 was worked out. A preliminary fluorination of an organo-nitroso compound with SF4 at high pressure and temper ture was performed. Identification of the products was no acco plish d. A de iled literature survey of the fluorides and oxyfluorides of sulfur, selenium, and tellurium was prepared and used in the formulation of the F program. (Author)
