EXPLOSIVE REACTIONS OF N-F COMPOUNDS WITH HYDROGEN,

Abstract

Compounds containing the difluoroamino group, NF2, are powerful oxidizers and are therefore of interest to the chemist concerned with propellants and combustion processes. In the search for high energy propellants a number of N-F compounds have been synthesized but their utilization in propellant compositions has been thwarted by their sensitivity and their tendency to detonate rather than burn. The understanding and control of the explosive reactions of N-F compounds with various fuels is therefore of considerable military interest. The present work is concerned with the explosive reaction of tetrafluorohydrazine with the simplest fuel, hydrogen, a reaction which has not been previously reported in the literature. (Author)
