Preparation and crystal structures of (S7I)4S4(AsF6)6 and S4(AsF6)2·0.6SO2; a convenient synthesis of hexafluoroarsenate salts of chalcogen homoatomic cations

Abstract

The oxidising ability of AsF5 is greatly enhanced by traces of bromine, and in its presence S4(AsF6)2·xSO2, (x⩽ 1) was prepared quantitatively from AsF5 and S8 in SO2; the X-ray structures of S4(AsF6)2·0.6SO2, and (S7I)4S4(AsF6)6 confirm the square planar geometry of S42+ in both salts, the former having a sulphur–sulphur bond distance of 2·014(4) and the latter of 1·98(1)Å.
