ClF3 - Video


Lurker here,

Having always been interested in chemistry, I've always kept an eye out for interesting articles. I found the 'Things I wouldn't work with' blogs especially interesting. What caught my notice was the extreme reactivity of fluorine chemistry. I previously hadn't taken much notice to it.

I especially liked the quote from 'Ignition' in the blog post about Chlorine Trifluoride. I found this blog in the search for that book.

Anyhow, I found it very difficult to find pictures or anything of ClF3 or F2O2. The periodic table videos of Fluorine reacting were fascinating. Then I found this video, which is what seems to be a french video showing the reactivity of ClF3 on various safety aparatus.

Not sure why I never found it before, but I think other people interested in the 'extreme' end of reactive compounds would also be interested. My wife's only comment was, 'Don't try to get that stuff'.

I read that ClF3 was considered for use as a chemical weapon at one point.

Chlorine pentafluoride also exists, liquifies at only −13.1 °C.
