A STUDY OF THE EXPLOSION LIMITS OF SIMPLE DIFLUORAMINO COMPOUNDS.

Abstract

Critical explosion pressures were determined for 2,2-bisdifluoraminopropane. Spherical Pyrex flasks of 217 cc volume and 1095 cc volume were used. At critical pressures of 5-50 mm, the ignition temperatures were 335-297 C. This is about 100 degrees lower than the ignition temperature for the 1,2-isomer. Mathematical treatment of the explosion limit data yielded an activation energy of 41.5 kcal/mole. Analysis of the photographs of the pressure traces yielded an activation energy of 52 kcal/mole. Product analysis in the explosion experiments revealed hydrogen cyanide, acetylene, and silicon tetrafluoride to be major products. For non-explosive decomposition results were similar except for the absence of acetylene. (Author)
