Novel ethyl-derivatization approach for the determination of fluoride by headspace gas chromatography/mass spectrometry

We report a novel derivatization chemistry for determination of fluoride based on the batch reaction of fluoride ions with triethyloxonium tetrachloroferrate(III) in a closed vessel to yield fluoroethane. Gaseous fluoroethane was readily separated from the matrix, sampled from the headspace, and determined by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. The method was validated using rainwater certified reference material (IRMM CA408) and subsequently applied to the determination of fluoride in various matrixes, including tap water, seawater, and urine. An instrumental limit of detection of 3.2 μg/L with a linear range up to 50 mg/L was achieved. The proposed derivatization is a one-step reaction, requires no organic solvents, and is safe, as the derivatizing agent is nonvolatile. Determination of fluoride is affected by common fluoride-complexing agents, such as Al(III) and Fe(III). The effect of large amounts of these interferences was studied, and the adverse effect of these ions was eliminated by use of the method of standard additions.

VIBRATIONAL LEVEL POPULATIONS OF HYDROGEN FLUORIDE PRODUCED IN INFRARED MULTIPLE-PHOTON DECOMPOSITION OF C2H5F.

CO//2 TEA laser-induced photolysis of C//2H//5F was studied by using a time-resolved infrared fluorescence technique. Molecular elimination of vibrationally excited hydrogen fluoride (HF*) from C//2H//5F*** occurs in the process. Rotational temperatures and vibrational level populations of HF* are estimated from observed fluorescence spectra by computational fitting. Higher vibrational level are populated to a less extent in the decomposition under a collisionless condition. When the pressure of C//2H//5F is increased, however, population inversion is allowed among some levels. Possible reaction mechanism is discussed for the production of HF* at extraordinarily high vibrational levels.

Hexafluoro-3-oxatricyclo2,4>hept-6-ene (Hexafluoro-Dewar-benzene Oxide) from the Photochemical Oxidation of Hexafluorobenzene

Photochemical oxidation of hexafluorobenzene in the vapour phase yields the title compound, which undergoes thermal rearrangement into hexafluorocyclohexa-2,4-dienone and two acid fluorides, attack by diethyl ether at the oxiran ring, and cycloaddition to its C=C double bond.

Activation of SF6 at Platinum Complexes: Formation of SF3 Derivatives and Their Application in Deoxyfluorination Reactions

The activation of SF6 at [Pt(PR3)2] R=Cy, iPr complexes in the presence of PR3 led selectively and in an unprecedented reaction route to the generation of the SF3 complexes trans-[Pt(F)(SF3)(PR3)2]. These can also be synthesized from SF4 and the SF2 derivative trans-[Pt(F)(SF2)(PCy3)2][BF4] was characterized by X-ray crystallography. trans-[Pt(F)(SF3)(PR3)2] complexes are useful tools for deoxyfluorination reactions and novel fluorido complexes bearing a SOF ligand are formed. Based on these studies a process for the deoxyfluorination of ketones was developed with SF6 as fluorinating agent.

Steric crowding makes challenging Csp3 - F reductive eliminations feasible

A high-yielding fluorination of (triphos)Pt-R+ has been achieved using an array of F+ sources, with XeF2 yielding R-F in minutes. The C-F coupling proved to be a stereoretentive process that proceeds via a concerted reductive elimination from a putative dicationic Pt(IV) center. The larger the steric congestion of the (triphos)Pt-Csp3+ complexes, the more efficient the fluorination, seemingly a result of sterically accelerated C-F reductive elimination along with simultaneous deceleration of its competing processes (β-H elimination).
