Consolidated stoichiometric mixtures of graphite fluoride (1) and magnesium (2) upon igni tion under argon atmosphere (0,1 MPa) yield very high flame temperature of ~ 5600 K as determined by infrared emission spectroscopy. The combustion product was analysed by X-ray powder diffraction and revealed the presence of magnesium fluoride and graphite as well as structurally low ordered carbon. A possible reaction mechanism is discussed.
