The reactions of xenon difluoride with ‘inert’ solvents

The reactions of XeF 2 with a variety of organic solvents are described. XeF 2 is foundto undergo both hydrogen- and chlorine-fluorine exchange over a relatively short timescalewith chloroform, dichloromethane and dibromomethane. XeF 2 reacts very slowly withtetrachloromethane and fluorotrichloromet...

Summary:The reactions of XeF 2 with a variety of organic solvents are described. XeF 2 is foundto undergo both hydrogen- and chlorine-fluorine exchange over a relatively short timescalewith chloroform, dichloromethane and dibromomethane. XeF 2 reacts very slowly withtetrachloromethane and fluorotrichloromethane, although the addition of a catalytic amountof HF increases the rate of reaction considerably. XeF 2 dissolves in acetonitrile withnegligible reaction to the extent of 2.25 mol kg −1.
