RESEARCH IN FLUORINE PROPELLANTS
Abstract
The electrolysis of solutions of N2O4 or other N-O compounds in anhydrous HF was initiated as a means of synthesizing N-O-F compounds. The reaction of N2O4 with HF was investigated and preliminary electrolyses were performed to obtain cell design data. Gas evolution was observed at the anode but not at the cathode, indicating that NO may be a cathodic product. Pt was found to reduce the voltage necessary to conduct the electrolysis as compared to Ni. Difluorourea was reacted with N,N-difluorocarbamyl chloride, acetylchloride, perchloryl fluoride, nitrosyl fluoride, and nitryl fluoride under a variety of conditions; only intractable tars of low oxidizer content were obtained. Ozone did not react with NF3 or either isomer of N2F2.
