Non-classical polyinterhalides of chlorine monofluoride: experimental and theoretical characterization of [F(ClF)₃].

ABSTRACT: We present the synthesis and characterization of the first non-classical Cl(i) polyinterhalide [NMe₄][F(ClF)₃] as well as the homologous polychloride [NPr₃Me][Cl₇]. Both salts were obtained from the reaction of the corresponding ammonium chlorides with ClF or Cl₂, respectively. Quantum-chemical investigations predict an unexpected planar structure for the [F(ClF)₃]^- anion.
