A convenient and high-yield synthesis for pyridinium and metal hexafluorocomplexes of vanadium, chromium, iron and cobalt
Pyridinium poly(hydrogen fluoride) reacts with the oxide of vanadium(V) and chlorides of chromium(III), iron (III) and Co(II) at room temperature forming the pyridinium salts of hexafluoro vanadate(V), hexafluorochromate(III), hexafluoroferrate(III) and hexafluorocobaltate(II) in near quantitative yields (80%). These pyridinium salts are the precursors for the preparation of the alkali metal hexafluorometallates by metathetic reactions in acetonitrile medium with the corresponding metal chlorides. The prepared salts have been identified by their infrared spectral data and elemental analysis
Reaction of thiophosphoryl fluoride with sulphur trioxide
Thiophosphoryl fluoride is observed to undergo a facile reaction with sulphur trioxide forming phosphoryl fluoride, sulphur dioxide and elemental sulphur in quantitative yields. In the presence of excess of sulphur trioxide, however, the elemental sulphur released combines with it to form sulphur sesquioxide which subsequently decomposes and gives off sulphur dioxide. Similar observations are made with oleum
