Thiazyl trifluoride is a chemical compound of nitrogen, sulfur, and fluorine, having the formula NSF
3
. It exists as a stable, colourless gas, and is an important precursor to other sulfur-nitrogen-fluorine compounds.[1] It has tetrahedral molecular geometry around the sulfur atom, and is regarded to be a prime example of a compound that has a sulfur-nitrogen triple bond.[2]

Preparation

NSF
3
can be synthesised by the fluorination of thiazyl fluoride, NSF, with silver(II) fluoride, AgF
2
:

NSF + 2 AgF
2
→ NSF
3
+ 2 AgF

or by the oxidative decomposition of FC(O)NSF
2
by silver(II) fluoride:[3]

FC(O)NSF
2
+ 2 AgF
2
→ NSF
3
+ 2 AgF + COF
2

It is also a product of the oxidation of ammonia by S
2
F
10
.[4]

Reactions

NSF
3
is much more stable than thiazyl fluoride, does not reacts with ammonia and hydrogen chloride, and only reacts with sodium at 400 °C.[5] It reacts with carbonyl fluoride (COF
2
) in the presence of hydrogen fluoride to form pentafluorosulfanyl isocyanate (SF
5
NCO
).[6]
