Hazards Summary
Causes conjunctival irritation, cyanosis, and weight loss in inhalation lethal-concentration studies of guinea pigs (LC50 = 900 ppm/1hr); Causes convulsions and acute pulmonary edema in inhalation lethal-concentration studies of mice (LC50 = 440 mg/m3); Causes dyspnea and methemoglobinemia in intraperitoneal lethal-dose studies of rats; [RTECS] A strong oxidizing agent; Explosive, toxic, and irritating; [CAMEO] See Hydrazine.

Reactivity Profile
TETRAFLUOROHYDRAZINE is an oxidizing agent. Explodes or ignites on contact with reducing agents at normal temperatures, including alcohols, amines, ammonia, beryllium alkyls, boranes, dicyanogen, hydrazines, hydrocarbons, hydrogen, nitroalkanes, powdered metals, silanes, or thiols [Bretherick 1979 p.174]. Can explode at high temperatures. Can explode with shock or blast when under pressure. Emits highly toxic fumes of fluorine and oxides of nitrogen when heated to decomposition. Several grams of a crude mixture containing tetrafluorohydrazine and nitrogen trifluoride had been allowed to collect in a stainless steel cylinder. During opening of valves to check the pressure, the cylinder exploded, killing one man and injuring another [MCA Case History 683 1966].
Air and Water ReactionsNo rapid reaction with air. No rapid reaction with water.
