The Synthesis of New Ionic Interhalogen Oxidizers

Abstract

The synthesis of hexafluorochloronium (VII) hexafluoroplatinate (V), ClF6(+)PtF6(-), from the reaction of chlorine pentafluoride and platinum hexafluoride is described as an oxidation-reduction reaction. This has been confirmed by elemental analyses, infrared and Raman spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction and displacement reaction with trifluorochlorine oxide. This is the first example of a perfluorinated heptavalent chlorine cation. The compound, ClF6(+)PtF6(-), based on preliminary X-ray powder pattern, has been indexed as having a cubic structure.
