RESEARCH IN FLUORINE CHEMISTRY
Abstract
The preparation of N-O-F compounds by electrochemical techniques was studied by utilizing the HF-N2O4 system. Alternating-current electrical measurements were made in addition to the direct-current data previously reported. None of the anode materials investigated were as satisfactory as Ni and Pt. The electrolysis of HF-N2O4 yielded substantial quantities of both OF2 and NO3F. Improved yields of NO3F were obtained by the electrolysis of HF-HNO3. These 2 procedures were indicated as the first syntheses of an N-O-F compound by electrolysis. The effect of additives and other conditions on the electrolyses of the HF-N2O4 and HF-HNO3 systems was investigated. A 15-amp electrolytic cell, metal and Kel-F vacuum line, and associated equipment have been essentially completed. (Author)
