Abstract
Difluorochloronium(III) compounds were synthesized from the reaction of metal powders (Ru, Os, Ir, Au), metal fluorides (NbF5, SbF3, BiF5) or a metal chloride (TaCl5) with excess liquid chlorine trifluoride. The compounds ClF2[AuF4], ClF2[MF6] (M = Nb, Ta, Ru, Os, Ir, Sb, Bi) and ClF2[Ta2F11] were obtained in crystalline form and their crystal structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The ClF2+ cations in the investigated compounds are bent, containing two strong, short, mainly covalent Cl-F bonds and two sterically active, free valence electron pairs in a pseudo-tetrahedral arrangement. The coordination around the Cl atom is extended by two highly ionic, long fluorine bridges to neighboring fluoridometallate anions, resulting in a total coordination number of six. The crystal structures vary among the ClF2+ compounds and range from molecular building blocks, such as dimeric (ClF2[AuF4])(2) and (ClF2[Ta2F11])(2), to chains, some of which being helical, as in ClF2[MF6], (M = Nb, Ta, Ru, Os, Ir, Sb, Bi). Quantum-chemical solid-state and gas-phase calculations were carried out to elucidate the bonding within the ClF2+ cations and their interactions with the bridging F atoms.Description
