INVESTIGATION OF THE DISSOCIATION CHEMISTRY OF NF2 COMPOUNDS
Abstract
Dissociation experiments were carried out by both thermal and photolytic means. As yet no meaningful thermal-dissociation data have been obtained with the adiabatic-compression apparatus; however, the apparatus appears to be operating properly. Preliminary flash photolysis experiments on NF3 sensitized by NO indicated no dissociation by light of wave length greater than 2200 A. Some N2F4 experiments are reported which indicate a flash-induced formation of NF2 which reaches a maximum about 200 micro sec after the photolysis flash. It seems likely that this effect is due to flash heating of the sample. A study of the NF2 spectra in the region of 2600 A revealed a previously unreported band structure superimposed on a continuous background. The flash-photolysis cell has been modified to include a concentric flash source around a high-purity quartz cell which permits photolysis with radiation down to 1700 Angstrons or sensitization of the photodissociation by oxygen.
