The mechanism of electrophilic fluorination remains controversial. At issue is whether the reaction proceeds via an S N 2 or single-electron transfer (SET) process. In support of the S N 2 mechanism, aryl Grignard reagents and aryllithiums give similar yields of fluorobenzene in combination with N-fluoro-o-benzenedisulfonimide (NFOBS), even though the tendencies of these reagents to ...
Chlorine and oxygen can bond in a number of ways: chlorine monoxide radical, ClO•, chlorine (II) oxide radical; chloroperoxyl radical, ClOO•, chlorine (II) peroxide radical; chlorine dioxide, ClO 2, chlorine (IV) oxide; chlorine trioxide radical, ClO 3 •, chlorine (VI) oxide radical; chlorine tetroxide radical, ClO 4 •, chlorine (VII ...
ClO 2 F was first reported by Schmitz and Schumacher in 1942, who prepared it by the fluorination of ClO 2. [2] The compound is more conveniently prepared by reaction of sodium chlorate and chlorine trifluoride [3] and purified by vacuum fractionation, i.e. selectively condensing this species separately from other products. This species is a ...
Perchloryl fluoride is produced primarily by the fluorination of perchlorates. The initial syntheses in the early 1950s used fluorine gas or fluorides and anodic oxidation as the fluorinating agents, but these give explosive gaseous mixtures. [8] A common fluorinator in modern syntheses is antimony pentafluoride: [3]: 372–373 ClO − 4 + 3 HF ...
Such reagents include cobalt trifluoride, chlorine trifluoride, and iodine pentafluoride. [4] The method electrochemical fluorination is used commercially for the production of perfluorinated compounds. It generates small amounts of elemental fluorine in situ from hydrogen fluoride. The method avoids the hazards of handling fluorine gas.
The well-characterized heavier halogens (chlorine, bromine, and iodine) all form mono-, tri-, and pentafluorides: XF, XF 3, and XF 5. Of the neutral +7 species, only iodine heptafluoride is known. [93] While chlorine and bromine heptafluorides are not known, the corresponding cations ClF + 6 and BrF + 6, extremely strong oxidizers, are. [94]
Chlorine pentafluoride (ClF 5) is made on a large scale by direct fluorination of chlorine with excess fluorine gas at 350 °C and 250 atm, and on a small scale by reacting metal chlorides with fluorine gas at 100–300 °C. It melts at −103 °C and boils at −13.1 °C.
Charge transfer coefficient, and symmetry factor (symbols α and β, respectively) are two related parameters used in description of the kinetics of electrochemical reactions. They appear in the Butler–Volmer equation and related expressions. The symmetry factor and the charge transfer coefficient are dimensionless. [1]
