Inorganic Halogen Oxidizer Research

Abstract

A basic research program was carried out in the area of inorganic halogen oxidizers. The program resulted in 91 papers published in major technical journals, 23 papers presented at international and national meetings, and 14 issued and 4 pending U.S. patents. Major efforts included studies in the areas of nitrogen fluorides, halogen fluorides and oxyfluorides, perchlorates, novel onium salts and sulfur fluorides. In the area of nitrogen fluorides, the most significant breakthrough was achieved in NF4(+) salts and synthetic methods developed under this program have resulted in NF4(+) based solid propellant NF3-F2 gas generators for chemical HF-DF lasers.
