Ammonium hexafluoroantimonate is an inorganic chemical compound with the chemical formula NH4SbF6.[1][2] It is composed of the ammonium [NH4]+ cation and the hexafluoroantimonate [SbF6]- anion.
Properties
It is soluble in water. It can form needle-shaped or columnar crystals.
Synthesis
It is formed from the reaction between antimony pentafluoride and ammonium hexafluoromanganate(IV):[citation needed]
- 4SbF5 + 2(NH4)2MnF6 → 4 (NH4)2SbF6 + 2MnF3 + F2
Uses
The compound is used in fine chemistry and organic synthesis, for example as a catalyst, and can replace organic fluorides. [3]
