Low Temperature Fluorine Chemistry of Electronegative Elements.
Abstract
This program was concerned with the synthesis and characterization of fluorine-containing compounds by novel methods. A detailed study of the systems X2 + F2 where X = Cl, BR, or I was carried out, producing evidence for the new species XF2, X2F and X2F2 as well as some of the normally unfavored members of the series XFn (n = 1, 3, 5). High resolution infrared spectra of the interhalogen compounds ClF and BrCl were measured for the first time. The uses of an infrared laser to produce new species in matrices via multiphoton dissociation and to open new synthetic routes in the gas phase have been examined. A new technique of obtaining infrared spectra of short-lived species has been studied and its potential evaluated. (Author)
