Formation of anomalous “hypofluorite” tautomers of nitrosyl fluride and nitryl fluride by addition of fluorine to nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide in cryogenic matrices
Abstract
Reaction of photolytically generated fluorine atoms with NO and NO2 molecules at 8–20 K produces, in addition to nitrosyl fluoride (FNO) and nitryl fluoride (FNO12), the new hypofluorite tautomers, NOF and ONOF.
