On the Reactivity of F3SNXeF+: Syntheses and Structural Characterizations of [F4SN−Xe---NSF3][AsF6], a Rare Example of a N−Xe−N Linkage, and [F3S(NSF3)2][AsF6]

The F(4)S=N-Xe---N[triple bond]SF(3)(+) cation has been synthesized as the AsF(6)(-) salt by rearrangement of [F(3)S[triple bond]NXeF][AsF(6)] in N[triple bond]SF(3) solvent at 0 degrees C. Deep yellow [F(4)S=N-Xe---N[triple bond]SF(3)][AsF(6)], which crystallized from a N[triple bond]SF(3) solution at -10 degrees C, was characterized by Raman spectroscopy (-160 degrees C) and by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (-173 degrees C). The Xe-N bond …
