Experimental Studies on Energy Storage
Abstract
The primary objective of this program was to demonstrate the feasibility of synthesizing hypervalent, high-oxidation state fluorides of nitrogen, oxygen, and the halogens. Typical target compounds were Nitrogen Pentafluoride, Chlorine Pentafluoride Oxide, Chlorine Hexafluoride Anion, Argon Fluoride Cation, Nitrogen Difluoride Anion, Arsenic Hexafluoride, and combinations of high oxidation state halogen fluoride anions with organic cations. In addition, special experimental techniques, such as low-temperature photolysis and glow-discharge, matrix-isolation spectroscopy and microwave discharge reactions were to be explored for the syntheses of these species. In the following section a brief discussion of some of the results will be given. In cases where a certain piece of work was completed, the results were summarized as manuscripts which are given in the Appendix and either have been or will be published in technical journals. Keywords: Energy storage, Fluorides, Halogen fluorides, Organic salts of halogen fluorides, Energetic compounds, Oxidizers, Organic chemistry, Rocket propellants.
