Abstract
Discrete mononuclear units have been characterized in the form of the matrix-isolated SbF3 molecule and of the anion SbF4 , identified for the first time, in association with appropriately bulky cations in the solid phase and in solution in organic solvents; the vibrational spectra of the SbF4 anion imply C2v symmetry. Vibrational spectroscopy has also been applied, in conjunction with earlier X-ray analysis, to the characterization (i) of polynuclear anions as in the solid complexes MISbF4(MI= Na, K, Cs, or NH4) and CsSb2F7 and (ii) of the SbF5 2– ion in different environments.
