Research on Fluorine Oxidizers
Abstract
The reduction of pure NF3O by iodide ion was found to give a value of 3 equivalents per mole, providing direct chemical evidence for its formula. The vapor pressure of NF3O fits the equation: log p = 7.86279 - 917.087/T, and the following quantities were derived: boiling point: -89.1 C, delta H sub v = 4195 ! 26 cal, and Trouton's constant: 22.8. The melting point was also determined: - 161.5 ! 1.0 C. A compound, believed to be a new binary NF compound arising from the electrical discharge of F-N mixtures, has also been synthesized from NF3-N mixtures. The direct fluorination of trimethyl orthoformate at -80 C has given a complex mixture of products, which possess unassigned absorptions in the infrared between 10 and 13 microns. The reaction is being studied to determine if these absorptions are due to new oxidizers. (Author)
