Recent achievements in the synthesis and characterization of metal hexafluorantimonates and hexafluoroaurates

AgIISO4: A Genuine Sulfate of Divalent Silver with Anomalously Strong One‐Dimensional Antiferromagnetic Interactions

“…Ag(SbF 6 ) 2 was synthesized from AgF 2 [9] and SbF 5 in anhydrous HF (aHF). [23] HF was dried with K 2 NiF 6 and distilled before use. Equipment used in the work is described elsewhere.…”

Homoleptic [M(XeF2)6]2+ cations of copper(II) and zinc(II)—Syntheses and crystal structures of [M(XeF2)6](SbF6)2 (M=Cu, Zn)

“…Prior to use, ZnF 2 (Alfa Aesar, 99.995%) and CuF 2 (Aldrich, 98%) were treated with ultraviolet photolysed F 2 in aHF to remove possible traces of oxide. Cu(SbF 6 ) 2 and Zn(SbF 6 ) 2 were prepared as described previously [22].…”

Copper(I) hexafluoroantimonate – an example of a compound with CuI in a solely fluorine environment

“…Cu(SbF 6 ) 2 was prepared as previously described [25]. A mixture of Cu(SbF 6 ) 2 (1.36 mmol) and short wires of metallic Cu (7.94 mmol) was loaded in a reaction vessel in a glove-box.…”

“…In aHF insoluble powdered material consisted of CuSbF 6 , Cu II [24,25] and oxonium [26,27] SbF 6 À salts. It was also observed that, when excess of SbF 5 was used, only Cu(SbF 6 ) 2 and SbF 3 ÁxSbF 5 were obtained as final products (Eq.…”
