The present volume, "Fluorine" Suppt. Vol. 4, covers the oxygen
compounds of fluorine and the binary fluorine-nitrogen compounds.
In the first part "Fluorine and Oxygen", oxygen fluorides OnF m are
described in the order of decreasing F: 0 ratio. It finishes with a
description of hyperfluorous acid HOF. The second part "Fluorine
and Nitrogen" deals with the binary fluorine-nitrogen com pounds.
They are subdivided on the basis of the number of nitrogen atoms
per molecule. Thus, species such as NFt, NF , NF , and NF are
considered first followed by the dinitrogen and 3 2 trinitrogen
fluorides NF, NF, and NF and related ions. 2 4 2 2 3 The other
compounds under the heading "Fluorine and Nitrogen", the
fluorine-nitrogen hydrogen and the
fluorine-nitrogen-oxygen(-hydrogen) compounds, will be covered in
"Fluorine" Suppt. Vol. 5. Intense development in the field of
inorganic fluorine-oxygen and fluorine"nitrogen chem istry began in
the middle of the 1950s when in less than a decade numerous
previously unknown compounds and a great deal of new information
were produced. Research in this field was strongly stimulated by
interest in these compounds as potential high-energy oxi dizers for
rocket fuels. That is also the reason why much of the pertinent
chemical information is found in patent Iiterature and U.S.
Government contractor reports.
"Nitrogen" Suppt. Vol. B 1 describes the compounds of nitrogen with
noble gases and, in the major part, binary compounds composed of
one nitrogen atom and hydrogen. Nitrogen hydrogen compounds with
two and more nitrogen atoms are covered in "Nitrogen" Suppt. Vol.
82. There is some information on various nitrogen-noble gas
species, to a large extent because of the interest in their bonding
behavior. Experimental data have been obtained chiefly for some
singly charged cations, particularly those formed by argon Like ArN
+ and ArNi. The existence of others has only been established by
mass spectrometry. The binary compounds of nitrogen and hydrogen
comprise NH, NH , NH , NH , the corre 2 4 5 sponding ions, and some
adducts. NH and NH1 are not treated. The predominant part 3 of the
volume covers the description of the molecules NH and NH . 8oth
species are present 2 in photolytic processes in the atmosphere.
They play an essential role in combustion systems regardless of
whether the nitrogen stems from the nitrogen-containing fuel or
from the air. Thus, much work has been devoted to the understanding
of the nitrogen chemistry in combustion and in the atmosphere. The
production and detection methods as weiL as the reactions have been
comprehensively described. ln addition detailed information is
given on the spectral behavior, the knowledge of which is important
for detecting the mole cules and for studying their kinetics.
"Nitrogen" SuppL. Vol. 82 continues the description of binary
compounds composed of nitrogen and hydrogen (nitrogen hydrides).
While" Nitrogen" SuppL. Vol. 81 covers mono- nitrogen compounds,
the present volume comprises compounds having two, three, four, or
more nitrogen atoms. Hydrazine, N H , and its ions N2Ht and N2H~+
were not included. 2 4 (Reference is made to a voluminous
monograph: E.W. Schmidt, Hydrazine and its Deriva- tives:
Preparation, Properties, Applications, Chichester 1984, 1088
pages.) Among the dinitrogen compounds, the diazenyl cation, N H+,
has been extensively inves- 2 tigated, especially in regards to
spectroscopic and kinetic properties, because of its occur- rence
in interstellar space. Chemically well-characterized are diazene, N
H , the simplest 2 2 unsaturated nitrogen hydride which is used as
a hydrogenation reagent, and the hydrazyl radical, N H , which is
frequently present as an intermediate during the formation and 2 3
decay of nitrogen-hydrogen compounds. The major portion of this
volume is taken up by hydrogen azide or hydrazoic acid, HN , the
first member in the series of trinitrogen compounds. Known to be
highly explosive 3 in pure form, it can be safely handled when
diluted. Thus, a great deal of information is available mainly on
its properties as a chemical reagent and its decomposition
processes.
