Highly porous nucleophilic organic cages (Nu-POC) were in-situ synthesized on cotton fibers by a condensation reaction between cyanuric chloride and melamine, and the products were employed as a robust wearable and flexible detoxifying protective material (denoted as POCotton) for vaporous pesticides. The covalent growth of Nu-POC particles on surfaces of cotton fibers retained the physical characteristics of Nu-POC to the greatest extend, which include specific surface area and porosity, while the cotton fabrics still remained wearable. The resultant POCotton can repeatedly adsorb fumigant vapors instantly (i.e., equilibrium reached within one minute) and massively (i.e., adsorption capacity at 596.88 mg/g of methyl iodide).

There is provided a method for producing high-purity bromine pentafluoride while leaving a less amount of an unreacted fluorine gas. The method for producing bromine pentafluoride includes a reaction step of feeding a bromine-containing compound, which is at least one of a bromine gas and bromine trifluoride, and a fluorine gas to a reactor to give a (fluorine atom):(bromine atom) molar ratio, that is, F/Br of 3.0 or more and 4.7 or less and reacting the bromine-containing compound and the fluorine gas to each other to obtain a reaction mixture containing bromine pentafluoride and bromine trifluoride; and a separation step of separating bromine pentafluoride and bromine trifluoride in the reaction mixture from each other.
