Fluorine perchlorate

Fluorine perchlorate (b.p. —15.9°C, m.p. —167.5°C) is a gaseous explosive compound prepared for the first time by Fichter and Brunner [17] by the action of fluorine on perchloric acid solution. Rohrback and Cady [18] improved the method of preparing it by using 72% perchloric acid in a platinum vessel. 

It possesses properties similar to fluorine nitrate (p. 465). It explodes in contact with organic materials. It is readily decomposed in an alkaline medium  

The same reaction can occur with water but the rate of this reaction is low. It possesses strong oxidizing properties. 

NTTRYL PERCHLORATE (NITRONIUM PERCHLORATE, NITROXYL PERCHLORATE), 

This is a crystalline compound which decomposes on heating above 135°C giving off nitrogen dioxide.

Group 17 (VIIA) Perchlorates. Fluorine perchlorate [37366 8-6] FCIO, is formed by action of elemental fluorine and 60—70% aqueous perchloric acid solution (68). The compound is normally a gas. It melts at —167.5° C and boils at — 15.9°C. It is extremely reactive and explosive ia all states. 

Interaction at low pressure leads to formation of the explosive gas, fluorine perchlorate.
