Chemistry:Difluorodithiophosphate
A difluorodithiophosphate is an anion or chemical compound with phosphorus connected to two sulfur atoms and two fluorine atoms. It has a single negative charge. The formula is [S2PF2]−.
Related compounds are the fluorodithiophosphates,[1] difluoropentathiodiphosphates ([S5P2F2]2–), fluorotrithiophosphates ([S3PF]2–)[2] and the difluorothiophosphates (F2P(O)S−). Fluorine can also be substituted by trifluoromethyl, phenyl, methyl or ethoxy groups.[3]
Formation
Salts containing difluorodithiophosphate can be made by reacting difluorodithiophosphoric acid (HS2PF2) with electropositive metals. Less electropositive metals salts may be produced by a reaction of the acid with the metal oxide or chloride.[4]
Other ways it can be produced are in a reaction of dimethylamine with thiophosphoryl fluoride (SPF3).[5]
Properties
Thermal decomposition of difluorodithiopgosphate salts yields thiophosphoryl fluoride and phosphorus trifluoride.[6]
Some compounds with two or three difluorodithiophospate groups are monomeric, dissolving in benzene, and being quite volatile, meaning they can be sublimed.[4] Other solvents include toluene, heptane and 1,2-dichloroethane.[7]
