Zur Kristallchemie von Supersäuren: Bildung und Struktur der tiefschmelzenden Addukte SbF5 · CF3SO3H und SbF5 · 7 HF [1] / Crystal Chemistry of Superacids: Formation and Structure of the Low-Melting Adducts SbF5 · CF3SO3H and SbF5 · 7 HF [1]

  • Dietrich Mootz and Klemens Bartmann

The melting diagram of the superacid system SbF5—CF3SO3H as well as of SbF5—HF has been studied by DTA and the crystal structure of one newly found low-melting adduct in each case determined. The adduct SbF5 · CF3SO3H (m.p. — 1°C, monoclinic, space group P21/c, Z = 4 formula units per unit cell) is composed of complex molecules F5SbOS(CF3)(O)OH which are linked by strong hydrogen bonds O-H ···F to infinite chains. The adduct SbF5 · 7HF (melting incongruently at —75°C, monoclinic, I 2/m, Z = 2) is a fluoronium salt, (H7F6)SbF6. The novel H7F6+ cation is formed as an unbranched chain by very strong hydrogen bonds between the respective F atoms, which become weaker from the center to the ends. A further hydrogen bond of this kind, between the cations and the octahedral SbF6- anions, again leads to a one-dimensional polymer.
