Abstract
The low temperature IR stretching vibrations of difluorodisulfane (FSSF) and thiothionylfluoride (SSF2), in the solid phase and in a cyclohexane matrix, of the mixtures FSSF -SSF2, FSSF-OSF2 and SSF, -OSF2, and of solid difluorotrisulfane (FS3F) have been investigated. While SSF, forms no distinct oligomers, a dimer with absorption bands at 635 and 682 cm-1 has been detected in the case of FSSF. These differences between FSSF and SSF, are rationalized by the different S-F bond lengths. A structure of the FSSF dimer similar to that of the sulfur tetrafluoride dimer is proposed. The low temperature spectrum of FS3F shows 3 bands in the frequency range between 460 and 1000 cm-1: 590, 605 and 680 cm-1, due to associated molecules. FS3F decomposes on warming. The main decomposition products containing fluorine are FSSF and SSF2. Mechanisms for the rearrangement and decomposition of the three compounds studied are discussedKeywords
