Abstract:
A thermoanalyser for studies in an atmosphere of a strong fluorinating agent has been designed. A methodology for simultaneously obtaining DTA and TG/DTG curves of physicochemical processes over a wide range of temperatures in environments of gaseous fluorine, hydrogen fluoride and chlorine trifluoride, as well as under vacuum and hydrogen, has been developed. The construction of the thermoanalyser is described in detail. To illustrate the capabilities of the thermoanalyser a study of the thermal behaviour of M2IrCl6 complexes with gaseous fluorine is presented.
