Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how various nitriles (like acetonitrile and benzonitrile) react with strong acid mixtures (HF/AsF5 or HF/SbF5) leading to the formation of protonated nitrile compounds.
  • The resulting protonated products, known as nitrilium ions, were isolated as different salts (e.g., [AsF6](-), [SbF6](-), and [Sb2F11](-)).
  • These nitrilium ions were analyzed and characterized using techniques such as multinuclear NMR, vibrational spectroscopy, and X-ray crystallography to understand their structural properties.

Sulfurtrioxide reacts with the superacidic solutions XF/SbF(5) (X=H, D) to form the corresponding salts [X(2)SO(3)F](+)[SbF(6)](-), which are the protonated forms of fluorosulfuric acid. The salts have been characterized by vibrational spectroscopy and a single-crystal structure analysis. [H(2)SO(3)F](+)[SbF(6)](-) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/n (no.
