Yv. Kokunov et al., Tin(II) difluoride and antimony(III) trifluoride as fluorine donors in reactions with tantalum halides in various solvents, RUSS J C CH, 27(7), 2001, pp. 476-478
Reactions of SnF2 and SbF3 with TaF5 and TaCl5 in acetonitrile and dimethyl
sulfoxide were studied by F-19 and Sn-119 NMR. It was found that SnF2 and
SbF3 behave as fluorine donors for tantalum(V). The anionic and cationic ta
ntalum fluorochloride complexes form in acetonitrile, while [TaF6](-) predo
minates in dimethyl sulfoxide. Tin(II) occurs in solution in the form of fl
uorine-containing polymeric cations.
