Fluorine reaction with nitrogen dioxide

Propylene forms explosive mixtures with air within the range 2.4-10.3% by volume. Violent explosion may occur by mixing propylene with fluorine or nitrogen dioxide. Reactions with ozone or hydrogen peroxide... 

In this sub-section it is proposed to deal first with effects of oxides of nitrogen in the oxidation of carbon monoxide, in a manner similar to that adopted for the hydrogen—oxygen system. Following this the reactions with fluorine, fluorine monoxide and sulphur dioxide will be considered. 

The reaction of nitrogen dioxide with fluorine generates nitiyl fluoride ... 

Arsenic trioxide reacts violently and nitrogen oxide ignites in excess fluorine. Bubbles of sulfur dioxide explode separately on contacting fluorine, while addition of the latter to sulfur dioxide causes an explosion at a certain concentration [1], Reaction of fluorine with dinitrogen tetraoxide usually causes ignition [2], Interaction with carbon monoxide may be explosive. Anhydrous silica incandesces in the gas, and interaction with liquid fluorine at — 80°C is explosive [3,4], Boron trioxide also incandesces in the gas [3],... 

Violent reactions with ammonium salts, chlorate salts, beryllium fluoride, boron diiodophosphide, carbon tetrachloride + methanol, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, 1,2-dibromoethane, halogens or interhalogens (e.g., fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine vapor, chlorine trifluoride, iodine heptafluoride), hydrogen iodide, metal oxides + heat (e.g., beryllium oxide, cadmium oxide, copper oxide, mercury oxide, molybdenum oxide, tin oxide, zinc oxide), nitrogen (when ignited), silicon dioxide powder + heat, polytetrafluoroethylene powder + heat. 

The enthalpy of reaction at 25 C for direct synthesis of nitryl fluoride from nitrogen dioxide with fluorine (N0 (g) +1/2... 

Derivation Reaction of fluorine with nitrogen dioxide. 

The first defined fluoroaliphatic compounds obtained by direct fluorination of organic substrates in liquid reaction media were characterized by Bockemiiller [3] in the early 1930s and published with his thermochemical analysis. To control the immense reaction enthalpy the fluorine gas was diluted with nitrogen or carbon dioxide. The organic substrate was dissolved in a cooled inert solvent, for example CCI4 or CFjClj. A similar line of work was pursued in the United States by L. A. Bigelow [4] who studied the reaction of arenes with fluorine gas.
