The tetrafluoroammonium cation (also known as perfluoroammonium) is a positively charged polyatomic ion with chemical formula {{chem|NF|4|+}}. It is equivalent to the ammonium ion where the hydrogen atoms surrounding the central nitrogen atom have been replaced by fluorine.[1] Tetrafluoroammonium ion is isoelectronic with tetrafluoromethane {{chem|CF|4}} and the tetrafluoroborate {{chem|BF|4|-}} anion.

The tetrafluoroammonium ion forms salts with a large variety of fluorine-bearing anions. These include the bifluoride anion ({{chem|HF|2|-}}), tetrafluorobromate ({{chem|BrF|4|-}}), metal pentafluorides ({{chem|XF|5|-}} where X is Ge, Sn, or Ti), hexafluorides ({{chem|XF|6|-}} where X is P, As, Sb, Bi, or Pt), heptafluorides ({{chem|XF|7|-}} where X is W, U, or Xe), octafluorides ({{chem|XeF|8|2-}}),[2] various oxyfluorides ({{chem|XF|5|O|-}} where X is W or U; {{chem|link=fluorosulfuric acid|FSO|3|-}}, {{chem|BrF|4|O|-}}), and perchlorate ({{chem|ClO|4|-}}).[3] Attempts to make the nitrate salt, {{chem|NF|4|NO|3}}, were unsuccessful because of quick fluorination: {{chem|NF|4|+}} + {{chem|NO|3|-}} → {{chem|NF|3}} + {{chem|FONO|2}}.[4]

Structure

The geometry of the tetrafluoroammonium ion is tetrahedral, with an estimated nitrogen-fluorine bond length of 124 pm. All fluorine atoms are in equivalent positions.[5]

Synthesis

Tetrafluoroammonium salts are prepared by oxidising nitrogen trifluoride with fluorine in the presence of a strong Lewis acid which acts as a fluoride ion acceptor. The original synthesis by Tolberg, Rewick, Stringham, and Hill in 1966 employs antimony pentafluoride as the Lewis acid:[5]

{{chem|NF|3}} + {{chem|F|2}} + {{chem|SbF|5}} → {{chem|NF|4|SbF|6}}

The hexafluoroarsenate salt was also prepared by a similar reaction with arsenic pentafluoride at 120 °C:[5]

{{chem|NF|3}} + {{chem|F|2}} + {{chem|AsF|5}} → {{chem|NF|4|AsF|6}}

The reaction of nitrogen trifluoride with fluorine and boron trifluoride at 800 °C yields the tetrafluoroborate salt:[5]

{{chem|NF|3}} + {{chem|F|2}} + {{chem|BF|3}} → {{chem|NF|4|BF|4}}

{{chem|NF|4|+}} salts can also be prepared by fluorination of {{chem|NF|3}} with krypton difluoride ({{chem|KrF|2}}) and fluorides of the form {{chem|MF|n}}, where M is Sb, Nb, Pt, Ti, or B. For example, reaction of {{chem|NF|3}} with {{chem|KrF|2}} and {{chem|TiF|4}} yields {{chem|[NF|4|+|]|2|TiF|6|2-}}.[6]

Many tetrafluoroammonium salts can be prepared with metathesis reactions.

Reactions

Tetrafluoroammonium salts are extremely hygroscopic. The {{chem|NF|4|+}} ion is readily hydrolysed into nitrogen trifluoride, {{chem|H|2|F|+}}, and oxygen gas:

2 {{chem|NF|4|+}} + 2 {{chem|H|2|O}} → 2 {{chem|NF|3}} + 2 {{chem|H|2|F|+}} + {{chem|O|2}}

Some hydrogen peroxide ({{chem|H|2|O|2}}) is also formed during this process.[5]

Reaction of {{chem|NF|4|+|SbF|6|-}} with alkali metal nitrates yields fluorine nitrate, {{chem|FONO|2}}.[4]

Properties

Because tetrafluoroammonium salts are destroyed by water, it cannot be used as a solvent. Instead anhydrous hydrogen fluoride or bromine pentafluoride can be used as a solvent to dissolve these salts.[7]

Tetrafluoroammonium salts usually have no colour. However some are coloured due to other metals in them. Red salts include {{chem|(|NF|4|+|)|2|CrF|6|2-}}, {{chem|(|NF|4|+|)|2|NiF|6|2-}} and {{chem|(|NF|4|+|)|2|PtF|6|2-}}. {{chem|(|NF|4|+|)|2|MnF|6|2-}}, {{chem|NF|4|+|UF|7|-}}, {{chem|NF|4|+|UOF|5|-}} and {{chem|NF|4|+|XeF|7|-}} are yellow.[7]

Applications

{{chem|NF|4|+}} salts are important for solid propellant {{chem|NF|3|–F|2}} gas generators. They are also used as reagents for electrophilic fluorination of aromatic compounds in organic chemistry.[8]
