Novel salts of graphite and a boron nitride salt

Abstract

Graphite is oxidized by O2+AsF6– and by OsF6 to give first-stage graphite salts C8+MF6–; S2O6F2 oxidizes both graphite and boron nitride to yield the salts C12+-SO3F– and (BN)4+SO3F–, the latter being the first example of a first-stage boron nitride salt.
