INORGANIC HALOGEN OXIDIZERS.
Abstract
A novel process for forming NF3O has been discovered. It was determined that the action of ClF3O on difluoramine, HNF2, reproducibly yielded NF3O in 80-percent yields at temperatures below ambient. Perfluoroformamide, F2NCFO, also reacted with ClF3O to yield NF3O. Mass cracking patterns were obtained for both IF7 and IF5O. New, more precise physical properties were determined for IF5O; the vapor pressure-temperatue equation is log p(mm)=8.9874-1659.4/T. Studies to prepare the unknown IF3O2 were conducted by reacting IF5O and SiO2 at elevated temperatures. The pyrolysis of IF5O yielded an unidentified volatile material which may be the new compound IF3O5. The reaction of IF5O and HNF2 yielded principally N2F4 as the oxidized product. Oxychlorine trifluoride, Clf3O, did not ionize in either BrF3 or IF5. The specific conductivity of ClF3O was measured at 25 C, the value obtained being 2 x 10 to the -8 power ohms(-1)cm(-1). The reduction of ClF3O with AsF3 was shown to be complex. Solid products were formed that were capable of being fluorinated to ClF3O. It is possible that the new compound ClOAsF6 may have been formed. Ultraviolet absorption spectra have been obtained for BrF5, ClF3O, FClO2, and ClF5.
