OF STAND & TECH NBS SPECIAL PUBLICATION 478 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE / National Bureau of Standards NITROGEN OXYCHLORIDES: A Bibliography on Data for Physical and Chemical Properties of CUNO, CLNO2, and CdNOs NATIONAL BUREAU OF STANDARDS The National Bureau of Standards^ was established by an act of Congress March 3, 1901. The Bureau's overall goal is to' strengthen and advance the Nation's science and technology and facilitate their effective application for public benefit. To this end, the Bureau conducts research and provides: (1) a basis for the Nation's physical measurement system, (2) scientific and technological services for industry and government, (3) a technical basis for equity in trade, and (4) technical services to pro- mote public safety. The Bureau consists of the Institute for Basic Standards, the Institute for Materials Research, the Institute! for Applied Technology, the Institute for Computer Sciences and Technology, the Office for Information Programs, and the Office of Experimental Technology Incentives Program. THE INSTITUTE FOR BASIC STANDARDS provides the central basis within the United States of a complete and consist- ent system of physical measurement; coordinates that system with measurement systems of other nations; and furnishes essen-' tial services leading to accurate and uniform physical measurements throughout the Nation's scientific community, industry,! and commerce. The Institute consists of the Office of Measurement Services, and the following center and divisions:

    pp-03-25-new dots.qxd 10/23/02 2:41 PM Page 611 NICKEL CARBONATE 611 NICKEL CARBONATE [3333-67-3] Formula: NiCO3; MW 118.72 Two basic carbonates are known. They are 2NiCO3•3Ni(OH)2•4H2O [29863- 10-3], and NiCO3•2Ni(OH)2 [12607-70-4], MW 304.17. The second form occurs in nature as a tetrahydrate, mineral, zaratite. Commercial nickel car- bonate is usually the basic salt, 2NiCO3•3Ni(OH)2•4H2O. Uses Nickel carbonate is used to prepare nickel catalysts and several specialty compounds of nickel. It also is used as a neutralizing agent in nickel plating solutions. Other applications are in coloring glass and in the manufacture of ceramic pigments. Physical Properties NiCO3: Light green rhombohedral crystals; decomposes on heating; practi- cally insoluble in water, 93 mg/L at 25°C; dissolves in acids. 2NiCO3•3Ni(OH)2•4H2O: Light green crystals or brown powder; decom- poses on heating; insoluble in water; decomposes in hot water; soluble in acids and in ammonium salts solutions. Zaratite: Emerald greed cubic crystals; density 2.6 g/cm3; insoluble in water; soluble in ammonia and dilute acids. Thermochemical Properties ∆Ηƒ° (NiCO3) –140.6 kcal/mol Preparation Anhydrous nickel carbonate is produced as a precipitate when calcium car- bonate is heated with a solution of nickel chloride in a sealed tube at 150°C. Alternatively, treating nickel powder with ammonia and carbon dioxide fol- lowed by boiling off ammonia yields pure carbonate. When sodium carbonate is added to a solution of Ni(II) salts, basic nickel carbonate precipitates out in impure form.

  • Reactions of Fluoroolefins with Participation of Fluorine Inorganic Radical Initiators
    Journal contents Reactions of fluoroolefins with participation of fluorine inorganic radical initiators V.M.Andrushin Report 1. Choice of fluorine inorganic radical initiators. Part 2. Nitrogen oxyfluorides , halogen oxyfluorides, sulfur oxyfluorides. In nitrogen oxyfluorides (FNO,FNO2,FNO3,F3NO,NF2NO) the character of bonds dissociation differs in principal from nitrogen fluorides: most nitrogen fluorides retain the N-F bond in chemical reactions whereas reactions with dissociation of the N-F bond in the molecules of nitrogen oxyfluorides are more favorable thermodynamically and heterolytic decay of the N-F bond with formation of fluoride ion and conversion of the NO or NO2 groups to the appropriate cation is prevailing. Such a behavior gives the grounds to consider nitrogen oxyfluorides as Lewis’ bases. As it should be expected, in a number of cases nitrogen oxyfluorides similarly to nitrogen fluorides react according to a mechanism of homolytic dissociation of the N-F bond that is very important for us. Nitrosyl fluoride, FNO, and nitrile fluoride, FNO2, are strong fluorinating agents, i.e. they dissociate mainly via the N-F bond. Their interaction with unsaturated perfluorinated compounds is associated with polarization of the molecules of oxifluorides according to the scheme: i.e. the N-O bond remains inactive. Nitrogen fluoro oxides behave in the reaction with fluoroolefins as typical electrophilic reagents, different catalysts are used to increase nucleophility of fluoroolefins. Potassium fluoride and boron trifluoride are used for higher fluoroolefins and boron trifluoride is used for tetrafluoroethylene and perfluoroalkylvinyl ethers. Therefore the use of FNO and FNO2 as the sources of the radicals in the reactions of fluoroolefins is too unlikely.
