Abstract

Dinitrogen pentoxide solution in trifluoroacetic acid simultaneously has features of both known types of its interaction with acids, viz . with weak and strong acids. It partially reacts with CF 3 COOH to give the covalent trifluoroacetyl nitrate and nitric acid, however the major part of N 2 O 5 exists in the covalent form in solution to concurrently produce nitronium ions due to the presence of HNO 3 . Quantum chemical calculations confirm the equilibrium nature of CF 3 COOHN 2 O 5 interaction.
