Preparation of XeOF₃⁺·Sb₂F₁₁^–and XeO₂F⁺·Sb₂F₁₁^–.¹⁹F nuclear magnetic resonance and Raman spectra of XeOF₃⁺and XeO₂F⁺

Abstract

The 19F n.m.r. spectra of solutions in SbF5 and the Raman spectra of the solids show that the compounds XeOF4·2SbF5 and XeO2F2·2SbF5 have the ionic structures XeOF3+·Sb2F11– and XeO2F+·Sb2F11–, that the XeOF3+ ion has the expected trigonal bipyramidal AX4E type structure and that the XeO2F+ ion has a pyramidal structure analogous to the isoelectronic XeO3.
