INVESTIGATION OF THE DISSOCIATION CHEMISTRY OF -NF2 COMPOUNDS

Abstract

The testing and debugging of equipment for both the photolytic and thermal dissociation studies of -NFz compounds has now been completed. The design of the flash tubes used in the photolysis work has been modified to minimize the occurrence and inconvenience of exploding tubes, flash durations have been timed, and the sequential flash-delay circuit has been calibrated. Preliminary spectral studies have been started. The adiabatic compression apparatus has been tested on the mass spectrometer with inert gases and was found to operate satisfactorily. The high speed drum camera has been received and coupled with the apparatus. Breakdown of the mass spectrometer and difficulty in obtaining satisfactory photographic registration of the successive oscilloscope traces of the mass spectrometer output have prevented the start of actual experimentation during this quarter, but these difficulties have now been overcome.
