Ts. Cameron et al., The first simple, donor-free salt of the Sb(OTeF5)(6)(-) anion: Synthesis,structure, characterization, and thermochemistry of Cs[Sb(OTeF5)(6)], INORG CHEM, 40(17), 2001, pp. 4488
Large and nonbasic anions are needed to stabilize novel and highly electrop
hilic/oxidizing cations. The Sb(OTeF5)(6)(-)-anion is suitable for this pur
pose and can now be introduced as a counterion by metathesis of the here re
ported Cs salt with MF6- salts (M = As, Sb) since CsMF6 is insoluble in man
y solvents.
