Inorganic Halogen Oxidizers

摘要

A research program was carried out in novel energetic materials. This program washighly successful and resulted in 28 major publications. Highlights of this effort include: the characterization of the XeF5(-) anion which is the first example of a pentagonal planar XY5 structure, completion of our work on a quantitative oxidizer strength scale, the synthesis and characterization of new compounds at the limits of coordination and oxidation, such as XeOF5(-), TeOF6(2-), IOF6(-), IF8(-), TeF8(2-), TeF7(-), and XeF7(+), the study of fluxionality and
