Abstract
IN connexion with nuclear cross-section studies in which boron trifluoride was used as a reference gas, a method of analysis of this gas was devised based on the condensation of boron trifluoride with acetyl fluoride to form acetyl fluoborate. This material is involatile at—120° C., and volatile impurities from the boron trifluoride can easily be pumped off and their volume determined1.
