Oxygen-halogen compounds

Sulphur-Oxygen-Halogen Compounds.—Thionyl fluoride has been shown76 to react with Cl2F+AsF6 at —78 °C to give OSCIFz AsFe in ca. 85% yield ... 

In commercial bulbs tungsten-oxygen-halogen compounds will form rather than tungsten-halogen compounds, because traces of oxygen are always present. Nevertheless, the principle of regeneration is the same. 

Concentrated sulphuric acid. The paraffin hydrocarbons, cych-paraffins, the less readily sulphonated aromatic hydrocarbons (benzene, toluene, xylenes, etc.) and their halogen derivatives, and the diaryl ethers are generally insoluble in cold concentrated sulphuric acid. Unsaturated hydrocarbons, certain polyalkylated aromatic hydrocarbons (such as mesitylene) and most oxygen-containing compounds are soluble in the cold acid. 

The usual valence of indium is three, although monovalent and bivalent compounds of indium with oxygen, halogens, and Group 15 (VA) and 16 (VIA) elements ate well known. The lower valence compounds tend to disproportionate into the trivalent compound and indium metal the trivalent compounds ate stable. 

Usually best choice for desiccation of gases (<3% water) such as argon, helium, hydrogen, chlorine, hydrogen chloride, sulfur dioxide, ammonia, air, and chemical classes such as aliphatics, aromatics, halogenated compounds, oxygenated compounds (siUca gel, zeoHtes, activated alumina all alternatives some regenerable, some not). 

The catalyst (spheres or rings with a diameter of 3-10 mm) contains 7-20% silver on high-purity a-AI203 having a surface of only <2 m2/g. Cesium or another alkali or earth alkali salt is added in an amount of 100-500 mg/kg catalyst for upgrading the selectivity. However, small amounts of halogen compounds, e.g., dichloroethane, are added to the ethylene/oxygen mixture to inhibit the total oxidation of the ethylene.
