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 elementsCl2 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

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 means substitution can lead to incr. acidity

CF3SO3H pKa ~ -15

All interhalogens are good oxidizing agents, unstable in air
ClF3 and BrF3 are very good fluorinating agents
BrF3 + asbestos burns brightly liberating O2(g) + Br

Halogen Oxides
Trend in acidity similar for Cl, Br, I
Pauling’s rules pKa = 8 - 5p for XOp(OH)q
Note exception:
IO4 (periodate) has pKa = 3.3
it is actually HIO4 + 2H2O H5IO6 (p = 1)
16
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

OxyhalidesReaction rates:
1 XO4 XO3
XO2 XO X2
ex ClO4 is 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 ClO is a labile oxidant (bleach)
2. Rates with central atom Cl Br I
ex ClO undergoes slow disproportionation
but IO has only been detected as a reaction intermediate
3. 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
Fluorocarbons
CHCl3 + 2 HF → CHClF2 + 2 HCl X exchange
2 CHClF2 → C2F4 + 2 HCl HX elimination
