Preparation, Characterization, and Crystal Structures of the SO3NHF− and SO3NF2− Ions

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Safe difluoroaminating reagents: Salts of the elusive SO3NF2− ion were prepared by aqueous fluorination of SO3NH2− with F2. These salts were characterized (see ORTEP of the anion) and shown to be excellent reagents for the preparation of gem-bis(difluoroamines). Salts of the intermediate SO3NHF− ion were also isolated and characterized.
