FLUOROCARBON NF COMPOUNDS. Quarterly Technical Report No. 3 for January 1, 1960 through March 31, 1960

Laboratory preparation of N/sub 2/F/sub 4/ is described and reactions with glass and mercury are reported. In other experiments the reaction of perfluoropiperidine with perfluoropropene was observed to determine the liability of the N-F fluorine in a fluorocarbon ring compound. Preliminary information is also given on indirect fluorination of fluorocarbon nitrogen compounds and replacement of acyl groups on nitrogen by fluorine. Preparation of various other nitrogen containing fluorocarbons is discussed. (J.R.D.)
