Reactions of perfluorinated organic peroxides

COF j is a common decomposition product or by-product in many reactions of fluorinated peroxides or trioxides [502,Slla,1833,1866], Decomposition reactions of peroxides which result in COFj formation are described in this Section, in addition to Section 13.7.11. 

The peroxide (FC0)20 2 decomposes into COj, Oj and COF above 100 C. At temperatures above 200 C, or when mixed with carbon monoxide, the decomposition proceeds explosively [81a,81b]. 

Reaction of (FCO)20 2 with NO at room temperature proceeds according to [81 a,81b]  

COF 2 was produced as the principal product when nitrogen(II) oxide was combined with CF3OOCF3. The reaction follows the rate law [927]  

The perfluoroformate (CF3)3C00C(0)F combines with CIF over caesium fluoride at -60 to -65 C to generate a quantitative yield of COFj [2240]
