Abstract

Herein, we report the preparation of silver(I) pentafluorooxosulfate from commercially available AgF and OSF₄ . The compound is surprisingly stable in a MeCN solution. Apart from that, AgOSF₅ has been stabilised by the addition of 2,2'-bipyridine ligands. Starting from solutions of the unstabilised silver(I) salt, OSF₅ complexes with Ni^II , Cu^I , and Cu^II -centres have been obtained. In addition, AgOSF₅ has proven to be generally capable of mediating the transfer of OSF₅ groups to aryne moieties, thus furnishing a new and safe method for the preparation of OSF₅ -substituted arenes. X-ray crystal structure analysis of selected transition-metal OSF₅ compounds have revealed distorted octahedral [OSF₅ ]^- anions which are extensively stabilised by hydrogen bonding.
