Abstract: | Preparation, Spectroscopic Characterization, and Crystal Structure of (CF3)2C(F)OH2+Sb2F11– Hexafluoroacetone, (CF3)2CO, reacts at –78 °C with the superacid HF/SbF5 under formation of the primary oxonium salt, (CF3)2C(F)OH2+Sb2F11–, which is characterized by vibrational spectroscopy and NMR spectra. The salt crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 with a = 817.9(1), b = 989.0(1), c = 1003.8(1) pm and 2 formula units per unit cell. |
