HIGH ENERGY OXIDIZERS.

Abstract

This report is on the investigation of complexes of chlorinetrifluoride. Further modification was made on the vacuum line, mostly to make its operation more safe. This was necessitated by an explosion experienced during the last report period. Oleum, fluorosulfonic acid, sulfurtrioxide and BrF5 were investigated as possible solvents for the complexes in the NMR studies. The first three gave chemical interactions, while BrF5 exchanged fluorine with the complexes. Low temperature NMR work was attempted, but the results were not reproducible because of mechanical difficulties with the NMR. Infrared studies were made on ClF3, AsF5 (both in solid and gasphase), KAsF6 and ClF2+AsF6-. Different windows were used and the application of 6Br coated with a thin Kel-F layer was found to be the most suitable among the possible solutions. Definite proof was obtained for the presence of the AsF6
