Abstract
A band at 2.57μ wavelength has an absorbance which depends upon the product of the partial pressures of hydrogen fluoride and chlorine trifluoride and is hence attributable to a molecular complex HF·ClF3. This complex is present only in low concentration. The temperature variation per unit product of the pressures indicates a heat of reaction of 3.9 kcal per mole for the reaction HF+ClF3⇄HF·ClF3. The band is a hydrogen‐fluorine stretching vibration. The complex probably does not contain a hydrogen bond.Keywords
