The reaction of phosphorus pentafluoride and tetraalkyltin compounds
Treichel,Goodrich, Ruth A.

Alkyltetrafluorophosphoranes can be prepared in good yield by the room temperature reaction of phosphorus pentafluoride and tetraalkyltin compounds. Careful investigation of the stoichiometry of this reaction indicates that this reaction is not as straightforward as one might expect, however. In all of the reactions attempted some of the phosphorus was retained in the nonvolatile residue of the reaction. Evidence is presented which indicates that this residue contains a complex of the formula R3SnPF6, whose structure is probably similar to other known compounds R3SnX (X = ClO4, BF4, AsF6, and SbF6).
