It is well established that solid KMnF reacts with excess SbF forming elemental F. However, if the reaction is carried out in anhydrous HF (aHF) as a solvent, this is surprisingly not the case. Instead, the green Mn(IV) compound K[(MnF)(SbF)]F is obtained. The reductive elimination of F was not observed under the applied conditions. The compound was characterized by its crystal structure, by Raman spectroscopy, and by quantum-chemical solid-state calculations. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group 2/, 164, with the lattice parameters = 12.2393(13), = 12.167(2), = 20.115(5) Å, β = 110.805(8)°, = 2800.1(9) Å, = 4 at = 200 K. As the use of strictly anhydrous HF is crucial in this and other similar reactions, methods for drying moist HF are discussed.
