Theory and Synthesis of New High Energy Density Materials
Abstract
Efforts are described to combine the NF4+ cation with highly energetic anions, such as NO(2), NO(3), and N(NO2)2. In the case of NO(3), the NO(3) anion was fluorinated already at very low temperatures by NF(4) to give fluorine nitrate in high yield. In the case of NO(2), the reaction with NF(4) yielded an unknown unstable decomposition product in low yield, but the reaction was very difficult to control and consistently exploded. In the case of N(NO2)2, again no stable salt was formed, and a thermally unstable decomposition product, probably FN(NO2)2, was observed by (19)FNMR spectroscopy.
