Interhalogens oxidation

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. 

Two approaches that have been investigated recently for disinfection are mixtures of bromine and chlorine, and mixtures containing bromide or iodide salts. Some evidence exists that mixtures of bromine and chlorine have superior germicidal properties than either halogen alone. It is believed that the increased bacterial activity of these mixtures can be attributed to the attacks by bromine on sites other than those affected by chlorine. The oxidation of bromide or iodide salts can be used to prepare interhalogen compounds or the hypollalous acid in accordance with the following reaction ... 

The interhalogens have properties intermediate between those of the constituent halogens. Nonmetals form covalent halides metals tend to form ionic halides. The oxoacids of chlorine are all oxidizing agents both acidity and oxidizing strength of oxoacids increase as the oxidation number of the halogen increases.

Because of the size of the iodine atom and the fact that it is easier to oxidize to the +7 state, IF7 is the only XX 7 interhalogen. It is prepared by the reaction of IF5 and F2 at elevated temperatures, and like other halogen fluorides it is a strong fluorinating agent. When it reacts with water, HF and HI04 are produced.

Carbon monoxide is a highly flammable and poisonous gas. Its flammable limits in air are 12.5 to 74.2% by volume, and the autoignition temperature 700°C. It explodes when exposed to flame. Reactions with interhalogen compounds, such as, bromine pentafluoride or halogen oxides can cause explosion. It forms explosive products with sodium or potassium that are sensitive to heat and shock. 

As a general rule, the properties of interhalogen compounds are intermediate between those of their parent elements. For example, IC1 is a red solid that melts near room temperature, and BrF is a brownish gas that condenses to a liquid near room temperature. All six possible diatomic interhalogen compounds are known, and all act as strong oxidizing agents in redox reactions.
