ESR Evidence for the Formation of the NF(3+) Radical Cation as an Intermediate in the Syntheses of NF4(+) Salts by Low Temperature UV-Photolysis.

Abstract

The NF3(+) radical cation was detected in large concentrations by uv photolysis of mixtures of NF3, F2 and BF3, and NF3, F2, and AsF6. No signal was detected in the absence of NF3. The results suggest that the NF3(+) radical cation is an important intermediate in the formation of NF4(+) salts; the initial step in uv activation of F2; Chain reaction mechanisms do not contribute significantly to the reaction.
