Sulfur trifluoride is the inorganic chemical compound with the formula SF3. It is a radical.[1][2]
Structure and synthesis
Sulfur trifluoride is predicted to be pyramidal.[3][4]
SF3 is generated by irradiation of crystals of trifluorosulfonium tetrafluoroborate [SF3]+[BF4]− with gamma rays.[1]
SF−
3
A derivative formally derived from SF−
3 is the coordination complex Ir(Cl)(CO)(F)(SF3)(Et3P)2 obtained by oxidative addition of sulfur tetrafluoride to Ir(Cl)(CO)(PEt3)2 (Et = C2H5).[5][6]
