Low Temperature Fluorine Chemistry of Electronegative Elements.
Abstract
Several new interhalogen species have been prepared and characterized by matrix isolation methods. Bromine difluoride, dibromine fluoride, and dibromine difluoride have tentatively been identified by infrared matrix isolation spectroscopy. These species were formed in a number of different experiments utilizing both UV-photolysis and microwave discharge excitation. The chlorine and bromine hexafluoride radicals have been prepared by gamma-radiolysis of approximately five mole percent of the precursor molecule (chlorine or bromine pentafluoride) suspended in a sulfur hexafluoride matrix and subsequently characterized by electron spin resonance. The previously reported chlorine tetrafluoride radical has also been formed by the same technique utilizing chlorine trifluoride or pentafluoride/sulfur hexafluoride mixtures. (Author)
