Abstract

Nitrous oxide, N2O, was observed to react with F2 under UV irradiation at-196° C to form initially F2N2O which in accord with earlier reports from the literature decomposes above- 140° C to form N2F4 and NO. The apparently different reaction behavior of N2O toward H radicals (→ H2O+ N2) and F radicals (→ F2N2O→ N2F4+ NO) can be accounted for by thermodynamic considerations [average bond energies (kcal mol-1): OH (114.2)> NH ( ...
