Abstract

Fluorination of triphenylarsine oxide by aqueous hydrogen fluoride (1–40%) in the absence of glass readily gives triphenylarsine difluoride. When the reaction with dilute (1%) aqueous hydrogen fluoride is carried out in borosilicate glass apparatus, the glass participates in the reaction resulting in the formation of the crystalline 2:1 adduct 2Ph 3AsO·HBF 4. Crystals of this compound are monoclinic, P 2 1/ c , a = 12.926(4), b = 17.819(6), c = 14.994(4) Å, β = 98.97(3)°, Z = 4. The structure contains cations [(Ph 3AsO) 2H] + in which O ⃜ O is 2.44(2)Å, and anions BF 4 −.
