• Description: Ammonium hexafluorophophate can be used to for the synthesis of non-aqueous polymer gel electrolytes based on polyethylene oxide (PEO), which show high conductivity above 10-2 S/cm at 25°C.1 It can be used to prepare other hexafluorophosphate.2 It is also used for the synthesis of ruthenium and palladium complexes.3
• Uses: Ammonium hexafluorophosphate is used as a preservative. It is used as a starting material in the preparation of other hexafluorophosphates. Further, it is used in synthesis of organometalic compounds, especially rhodicinium hexafluorophosphate, which has inert and non-coordinating counter ion. Ammonium hexafluorophosphate is used to synthesize polyethylene oxide based highly conductive non aqueous polymer gel electrolytes exhibiting high conductivity (>10-2S/cm at 25oC) Ammonium hexafluorophosphate (NH4PF6) can be used as a precursor for the preparation of: Metal complexes, particularly iridium and rhodium complexes.??????? Flame retardant cellulose-based materials.??????? Cyclic amidinium and iminium ammonium hexafluorophosphate salts.???????? The polymer-supported iridium isomerization catalyst for the selective trans isomerization of aryl allylic derivatives.
