ADDITION AND SUBSTITUTION PRODUCTS OF OXYGEN FLUORIDES

Abstract

Chemical reactions of oxygen fluorides were studied to obtain addition products of high oxidizing power. The chemical characterization of dioxygen difluoride is given, and the reactions of formation of the intermediate compounds O2ClF3, O2BrF5 and O2SF6, as well as some others, are described. A new method (electric discharge) of preparing xenon tetrafluoride, XeF4, is given. The preparation of xenon oxyfluorides is indicated. Using the same method, at liquid air temperatures, it was possible to synthesize the first compound of krypton, i.e., krypton tetrafluoride or KrF4. It forms beautiful color less transparent crystals, more volatile and less thermally stable than XeF4.
