Abstract

Formation of a new type of anion, SF 5 −, is described. Salts of this anion with simple metal cations are not stable, but the tetramethylammonium salt is reasonably stable, exhibiting a small equilibrium dissociation pressure at room temperature. The tetramethylammonium salt of SF 4Cl − decomposes readily at this temperature. These salts of pentavalent sulphur were prepared by reacting liquid SF 4 with the corresponding tetramethylammonium fluoride or chloride.
