Prepn of elements F2 colorless gas Mineral source of F is CaF2 or Na3AlF6 (cryolite) 2 HF H2 + F2 E = -2.87 V (Moisson, 1886) Fluorine is very reactive with almost all other elements, but not with materials such as (CF2)n, SiO2 (dry), Cx at RT Chemical prepn: K2MnF6 + 2 SbF5 2 KSbF6 + MnF3 + ½ F2 anhyd KF, electrolysis
Fluorine vacuum line Ni, SS, or Monel, passivation layer such as NiF2
Prepn of elements Cl2 pale yellow gas, source = brine 2 Cl Cl2 + 2e E = -1.36V 13M tons in 2004 Since H2O/O2 = 1.23 V (or higher at pH > 0), Cl2 production requires there be a greater overpotential for O2 than for Cl2 (RuO2 electrode works best) Br2 deep red liquid, source = brine Cl2 + 2 Br Br2 + 2 Cl E = +0.26V 0.4M tons in 2000 I2 violet solid that sublimes, source = brine, kelp, or NaIO3 Oxidation of iodide with Cl2 21k tons 2003

Periodic Trends Reactivity of F2 >> Cl2 > Br2 > I2 Reason for reactivity for F2 is the strong bond of F with other elements and weak F-F bond ex: Hhyd(F) - Hhyd(Cl) = 143 kJ/mol = 1.48 eV note that difference in E(X2/X-) is similar (1.4 V) High E to generate F2 means F ligands can often stabilize high ox states ex: PtF6, PbF4, BiF5, IF7 none of these exist with other halides High c means substitution can lead to incr. acidity CH3SO3H pKa ~ -2 CF3SO3H pKa ~ -15 inductive effect of F

Frost diagrams all ox states above -1 are strong oxidants disproportionation favorable for many species oxyhalides are stronger oxidants in acidic solutions In acid: ClO4+ 2 H+ + 2e- ClO3+ H2O E = +1.2 V In base: ClO4+ H2O + 2e- ClO3+ 2 OH E = +0.37 V
Oxyhalides • Reaction rates: • XO4 XO3 XO2 XO X2 • ex ClO4is kinetically stable in aqueous soln (but can explosively decompose in organic soln or anhydrides) • (reaction mechanism often involves nucleophilic attack on “X” which is shielded in XO4 • but ClOis a labile oxidant (bleach) • Rates with central atom Cl Br I • ex ClOundergoes slow disproportionation • but IOhas only been detected as a reaction intermediate • Rates increase in acidic solutions • X = O X - OH (weaker interaction) H+
Oxyhalides Representative reactions: Cl2 (aq) + 2 OH- (aq) ClO (aq) + Cl- (aq) + H2O (l) fast ClO (aq) 2 Cl (aq) + ClO3(aq) slower 4 ClO3 (aq) 3 ClO4 (aq) + Cl (aq) very slow
