Darstellung und spektroskopische Charakterisierung der Difluoramino-fluoriminium-Hexafluorometallate F2NC(F)NX2+MF6– (X = H,D; M = As,Sb)

Preparation and Spectroscopic Characterization of the Difluoroaminofluoro-iminium-hexafluorometallates F₂NC(F)NX₂⁺MF₆^– (X = H, D; M = As, Sb) Difluorocyanamin, F₂NCN, does not react with the superacids XF/MF₅ (X = H, D; M = As, Sb) under formation of protonated nitrilium salts. At –78 °C iminium salts of the general form F₂NC(F)NX₂⁺MF₆^– are observed, which are characterized by vibrational and nmr spectroscopy. The structure and vibrational frequencies were computed ab initio at the Hartree-Fock (HF/6-31 + G*) and correlated Møller-Plesset (MP2/6-31 + G*) levels of theory.
