The thermal decomposition of NF4HF2 was studied by using 18F-labeled HF2-. The observed distribution of 18F among the decomposition products indicates that within experimental error the attack of HF2- on NF4+ occurs exclusively on fluorine and not on nitrogen, contrary to the predictions based on bond polarities. These results confirm the previous suggestion that the lack of pentacoordinated nitrogen species is due mainly to steric reasons.
