GASEOUS DIELECTRICS WITH LOW GLOBAL WARMING POTENTIALS

A dielectric gaseous compound which exhibits the following properties: a boiling point in the range between about ?20° C. to about ?273° C.; non-ozone depleting; a GWP less than about 22,200; chemical stability, as measured by a negative standard enthalpy of formation (dHf0); a toxicity level such that when the dielectric gas leaks, the effective diluted concentration does not exceed its PEL; and a dielectric strength greater than air.

Synthesis and reaction chemistry of fluoroxydifluoromethyl fluoroformyl peroxide

The reaction of bis(fluoroformyl) peroxide 1 with F2 in the presence of CsHF2 of KHF2 produces FOCF2OOC(O)F 2 in 60% yield. The previously known FOCF2OOCF2OF is also obtained as a byproduct along with small amounts of the new compounds FOCF2OOC(O)OOC(O)F 3 and FOCF2OOC(O)OOCF2OF 4. Hydrolysis of 2 affords either FOCF2OOC(O)OOCF2OF 4 or FOCF2OOH 5 in low yield, depending on the reaction conditions. Fluorination of peroxides 3-5 provides the corresponding fluoroxy compounds in high yields and provides further proof of structure.

Kinetic study of the reactions of CF3O2 radicals with Cl and NO

Kinetic studies of the reactions CF3O2 + Cl and CF3O2 + NO were performed at room temperature in the gas phase using the discharge flow mass spectrometric technique (DFMS). The reactions were investigated under pseudo- first-order conditions with Cl or NO in large excess with respect to the CF3O2 radicals. The rate constant for the reaction CF3O2 + NO was measured at 298 K and the value of (1.6 ± 0.3) x 10-11 cm3 molecule-1 s-1 is in very good agreement with all previous values. For the reaction CF3O2 + Cl, we obtain a rate constant at 298 K of (4.2 ± 0.8) x 10-11 cm3 molecule-1 s-1 in excellent agreement with the only published value. Product analysis shows that this reaction occurs via the major reaction pathway CF3O2 + Cl → CF3O + ClO at room temperature. In addition, an ab initio theoretical study was performed to gain insights on the different postulated reaction pathways. There is a significant disagreement between experimental and ab initio values recommended for the formation enthalpies of CF2O, CF3O and related molecules produced in this system. Consequently, we provide self-consistent values of enthalpies based on isodesmic reactions for the CF3O2 + Cl reaction system using the G2, G2(MP2) and CBS-Q methods. These values are also compared with BAC-MP4 heats of formation calculated in this work.
