INORGANIC HALOGEN OXIDIZERS
Abstract
New syntheses of ClF3O were discovered utilizing ultraviolet-initiated reaction of FClO2 and FClO3. In the presence of F2, ClF3, or ClF5, FClO2 gave ClF3O in high conversions and high yields. The same techniques were not successful in oxidizing ClF3O to ClF5O or BrF5 to BrF7. There is considerable evidence that FClO is an intermediate in the synthesis of ClF3O by ultraviolet activation. Corona discharge activation of FClO2-F2 did not result in ClF3O. A stable mass cracking pattern for ClF3O was obtained with the most prominent peaks assignable to ClFO(+) and ClF2O(+). Novel processes were discovered for forming NF3O at low temperature from ClF3O and HNF2 or FCONF2. Mass cracking patterns of IF7 and IF5O were determined. The vapor pressure-temperature equation for IF5O was determined as log P sub mm equals 8.9874-1659. 4/T. Pyrolysis of IF5O yielded an unidentified volatile material which may be a new IFxO compound. Reaction of IF5O and HNF2 yielded FNO and N2F4 as oxidation products. A new method for the synthesis of ClNO3 was developed using ClF and HNO3. A similar reaction of BrF5 and HNO3 gave limited amounts of BrNO3. Fluorination of BrNO3 gave a new solid of the type NO2BrFxO. The solid, NO2BrF4, was characterized. Reaction of Cl2O and AsF5 gives principally ClO2AsF6 which was characterized. Oxychlorine trifluoride did not ionize in BrF3 or IF5. Hydrolysis of KF.KClF4 resulted in the formation of a new phase thought to be a KF.KClF4 hydrate.
