Krypton difluoride is an unstable chemical compound made up of krypton and fluorine . It is one of the few known krypton compounds and the first compound of this noble gas to be synthesized .
Extraction and presentation
Krypton difluoride is produced at −196 ° C with the help of electrical discharges from elemental krypton and fluorine in an endothermic reaction of 60 kJ / mol . Further extraction options are UV photolysis and the bombardment of krypton / fluorine mixtures with protons. In each case, fluorine radicals are created that are able to react with krypton.
properties
Chemical properties
Krypton difluoride is unstable and decomposes within a few days at room temperature. At 77 ° C the compound sublimes with rapid decomposition. Krypton difluoride reacts explosively with water and organic compounds.
Krypton difluoride is a strong oxidizing agent , it can convert xenon into xenon hexafluoride or iodine into iodine pentafluoride . It is also a fluoride ion donor. The cation KrF + is the strongest known oxidizing agent to date, even stronger than oxygen difluoride and elemental fluorine . It is the only known substance capable of bringing gold to the +5 oxidation state:
Molecular geometry
According to the VSEPR model , the krypton difluoride molecule has a linear structure with a bond angle (F − Kr − F) of about 180 °. In the gaseous state the bond length is 188.9 pm .
Krypton difluoride has the point group D ∞h as its molecular symmetry .
