production method | 34G (0.268mol) silver fluoride was suspended in 40g of dry nitromethane, boron trifluoride was bubbled through the suspension under shaking for 30min. The instrument should be protected from moist air. The temperature of the reaction solution was raised to 60 ° C., and the reaction vessel was occasionally invaded into an ice bath to maintain this temperature. When the solid silver fluoride was almost dissolved, the addition of boron trifluoride was stopped. The amount of absorbed boron trifluoride was 19.5g(0.28mol, the theoretical amount of silver fluoride completely reacted was 18g). The nitromethane solution of silver tetrafluoroborate was colorless but slightly dark. N21h was introduced into the solution to remove excess boron trifluoride. Nitromethane was filtered through a glass sand zinc funnel under dry N2 into an evacuated (about 666PA) filter flask maintained at 70 °c. The nitromethane was collected in a liquid nitrogen cold trap. After removal of the nitromethane, the residue was a white solid which was ground to small particles in a dry box under n-pentane overlay. The purpose of using n-pentane is to isolate air, and it can be easily removed at atmospheric temperature to obtain a dry solid. The ground silver tetrafluoroborate is sucked to dryness at 70 °c to give 46g(88.5%). |
