Studies of Fluorine at Low Temperature. Report No. 11. Reaction Between Oxygen and Fluorine or OF sub 2 Caused by Electric Discharge at Low Temperatures

摘要

The reactions OF sub 2 (l) + O sub 2 (l) light O sub 3 F sub 2 (s) and O sub 2 F sub 2 (s) hardly occurred at all. O sub 3 F sub 2 (s) was produced as well as O sub 2 F sub 2 (l) when an electric discharge was conducted at a low temperature on the gas mixture of O sub 2 (l) + F sub 2 (g). The growth of this compound is more feasible in a tube that is large enough to keep the discharge heat away. It is speculated that O sub 2 (l) is activated and develops the reaction O sub 2 (l) + F sub 2 (l) light O sub 3 F sub 2. (ERA citation 09:046293)
