Volume 1: The Solid-Gas Singlet Delta Oxygen Generator
Abstract
The recently completed research program at the Air Force Research Laboratory, Edwards AFB Site, had as its goals for the component dealing with solid-gas generation of singlet delta oxygen: a) construction of a Raman diagnostic system for the simultaneous measurement of excited and ground state oxygen in gas-solid reactions between solid peroxides and hydrogen halides or chlorine gas, b) exploration of alternate singlet delta oxygen sources, and c) technical chemistry support to a parallel engineering effort at Boeing. This technical report summarizes the results which were obtained during this program, and a second volume will cover the results for polynitrogen research. The Appendices 2-4 contain copies of a recently awarded U.S. patent for the chemical generation of singlet delta oxygen, an article in the AFRL Technology Horizons magazine, and a journal article from Angewandte Chemie International Edition, respectively. All of the published work was done under DARPA sponsorship.
