ChemInform Abstract: Reaction of Ruthenium Dioxide with Fluorine.

Abstract

039ChemInform Abstract The novel solid compound RuOF3 is prepared by fluorination of RuO2 at 250-320 rc C. It is highly susceptible to hydrolysis, and is characterized by elemental analysis and by Raman spectroscopy. The kinetics of the fluorination of RuO2 are studied between 255-300 rc C. A possible mechanism of the RuOF3 formation is discussed.
