Yv. Kokunov et al., NMR study of the reactions of tin(II) difluoride and antimony(III) trifluoride with niobium pentachloride, RUSS J C CH, 27(9), 2001, pp. 644-647
The reactions of SnF2 and SbF3 with NbCl5 in acetonitrile or dimethyl sulfo
xide were studied by F-19, Nb-93, and Sn-119 NMR spectroscopy. The products
of reaction in acetonitrile are anionic, while those in dimethyl sulfoxide
are neutral octahedral niobium chlorofluoride complexes. Tin(II) difluorid
e and antimony(III) trifluoride are powerful sources of fluoride ions in th
e preparation of metal chlorofluoride and fluoro complexes.
