A vehicle tie-down strap anchor and storage assembly includes a stake pocket anchor assembly for anchoring a tie-down strap to and storing a tie-down strap in a vehicle stake pocket and/or a tie-down strap anchor and storage box assembly adapted to be secured to a toolbox or surface in a cargo bed portion of a vehicle. The anchor for the stake pocket anchor assembly is resilient and has a generally V-shaped configuration with a base portion and a pair of arms extending upward and outward from the base portion to contact an interior surface of an upper wall of a vehicle stake pocket to retain the stake pocket anchor within the vehicle stake pocket. A tie-down strap is secured to the base of the anchor and, when not in use, can be stored within the vehicle stake pocket between the arms of the anchor. A tie-down strap is secured within the tie-down strap anchor and storage box assembly and, when not in use, can be stored in the box. Each assembly includes a cover for covering openings in the stake pocket and the box, respectively.

A fluorinating agent having an empirical formula which comprises FOIF.sub.4 O whereby said fluorinating agent is prepared by a metathetical reaction of solutions of NF.sub.4 SbF.sub.6 and CsIF.sub.4 O.sub.2 in anhydrous HF, removing the precipitated CsSbF.sub.6 and HF solvent, followed by thermal decomposition of the filtrate residue.

Improved NF.sub.4.sup.+ compositions for solid propellant NF.sub.3 -F.sub.2 gas generators are described which produce NF.sub.3 and F.sub.2 free of gaseous Lewis acids and do not require clinker forming additives for their complexing. The novel self-clinkering compositions (NF.sub.4).sub.2 SnF.sub.6, NF.sub.4 SnF.sub.5, (NF.sub.4).sub.2 TiF.sub.6, NF.sub.4 Ti.sub.2 F.sub.9, NF.sub.4 Ti.sub.3 F.sub.13, and NF.sub.4 Ti.sub.6 F.sub.25 and processes for their production are disclosed.

In the synthesis of fluorotrinitromethane by reacting tetranitromethane with an adduct of an alkali metal fluoride and a fluorinated or chlorofluorinated acetone in an aprotic dipolar solvent, chlorine or bromine is added during the reaction so as to eliminate side reactions.

SbF.sub.5 is heated in the presence of an excess of NF.sub.3 and F.sub.2 to 250.degree. C until conversion of the SbF.sub.5 to NF.sub.4 SbF.sub.6 is complete. The NF.sub.4 SbF.sub.6 may be used itself or may be combined, in 0-15 mol % excess, with CsBF.sub.4 in anhydrous HF to produce NF.sub.4 BF.sub.4.
