Helium compounds fluorides

Preparation of dimethylaminomethyl-2-fluoroferrocene, by interaction of the lithio compound in THF at —70°C with perchloryl fluoride diluted with helium, unexpectedly exploded violently. 

Two main nuclear methods for the formation of the radioactive fluorine have been developed. The first involves a reaction of neon with deuterons, 20Ne(d, a) 18F, using elemental fluorine as a carrier. The second method uses irradiation of natural water with 30-MeV helium-3, [160 (3He,p)18F] or irradiation of lsO-enriched water with 16-MeV protons resulting in [lsO(p,n)18F]. This is a no carrier method and results in an anionic 18F fluoride. We will review here some of the synthetic ways based on these two major methods for introducing 18F isotope into organic compounds. Many of these compounds have special affinity to certain organs or receptors in the living body. 

Argon (Ar) gas, for example, is over 30 times more abundant than carbon dioxide and, therefore, not rare. And xenon is not inert it s first compounds were created in 1962. When xenon (Xe) forms binary fluorides and oxides as well as fluoride complexes and oxoanions, the stability of these compounds is very low. It s reactivity is related to increasing atomic size as you go down the table, which leads to a decrease in the first ionization potentials. Xenon tetraflouride (XeF,) is made by mixing one part xenon gas to three parts fluorine gas in a container at 400 °C. Compounds have been confirmed for argon (HArF), krypton (KrF2), xenon (numerous fluorides, oxyfluorides, and oxides), and radon (RnF2). It s believed that compounds exist with helium and neon as well, though none have been experimentally proven to date. 

While fluorides of xenon and krypton are known, similar compounds of helium and argon are not known, why ... 

Replacement gas is provided using two gas cylinders and a fluorine generator. Figure 5.7 shows the mechanical system for refilling the lasers. One gas cylinder provides the helium and the other provides the premix of other gases. The fluorine source is initially in the solid form of potassium fluoride. During filling, the laser s controller activates heaters that raise the temperature of the solid compound, which...
