Tetrafluorophosphate Anion
Abstract
The elusive POF4 - anion has been characterized for the first time. It is formed from N(CH3)4F and POF3 in CHF3 solution at −140 °C and can be observed at this temperature by 19F and 31P NMR spectroscopy. Between −140 and −100 °C it reacts with POF3 forming the OF2P−O−PF5 - anion, which, at higher temperatures, reacts with F- anions to give PO2F2 - and PF6 -. This reaction sequence provides a low activation energy barrier pathway for the highly …
