Chlorine trifluoride, oxidation

This last reaction is typical of many in which F3CIO can act as a Lewis base by fluoride ion donation to acceptors such as MF5 (M = P, As, Sb, Bi, V, Nb, Ta, Pt, U), M0F4O, Sip4, BF3, etc. These products are all white, stable, crystalline solids (except the canary yellow PtFe ) and contain the [F2CIO] cation (see Fig. 17.26h) which is isostructural with the isoelectronic F2SO. Chlorine trifluoride oxide can also act as a Lewis acid (fluoride ion acceptor) and is therefore to be considered as amphoteric (p. 225). For example KF, RbF and CsF yield M [F4C10] as white solids whose stabilities increase with increasing size of M+. Vibration spectroscopy establishes the C4 structure of the anion (Fig. 17.29g).

Chlorine trifluoride oxide is colorless as a gas or liquid and white in the solid state. Some of its properties are summarized in Table VIII. The vapor pressure of the liquid can be described according to the Rocketdjme study (226) by the equation... 

Chlorine trifluoride oxide is stable at ambient temperature and can be stored and handled in well-passivated metal, Teflon, or Kel-F containers without decomposition. Its thermal stability is intermediate between that of CIF3 and CIF5. When heated to 280-300°C in a Monel cylinder (37,226), or to 200°C in a stainless steel cylinder, or to 350°C in a flow system (226), CIF3O decomposes ...

Safety. Magnesium oxide (fume) has a permissible exposure limit (PEL) (134) (8 hours, TWA), of 10 mg/m total dust and 5 mg/m respirable fraction. Tumorigenic data (intravenous in hamsters) show a TD q of 480 mg/kg after 30 weeks of intermittent dosing (135), and toxicity effects data show a TC q of 400 mg/m for inhalation in humans (136). Magnesium oxide is compatible with most chemicals exceptions are strong acids, bromine pentafluoride, chlorine trifluoride, interhalogens, strong oxidizers, and phosphorous pentachloride.
