Kinetics of Fluorine Reactions

Abstract

This report briefly summarizes research done from September 1, 1970 to November 30, 1974. Four publications resulted. The research focused on the chemistry of fluorine and its compounds. One system studied was the equilibrium of CF3OOCF3 with CF3OF plus COF2. Equilibrium constants, forward and reverse reaction rates and the standard enthalpy and entropy for this system were determined. The bond dissociation energy for the O-O bond in bistrifluoromethyl peroxide and for the O-F bond in trifluoromethyl hypofluorite were determined. The study of the fluorine with perfluorocyclobutane reaction system was also completed. This study represents the most thoroughly studied example of a homolytic bimolecular substitution reaction usually designated SH2. Reaction rates and mechanisms were determined.
