The tetrafluoroammonium cation (also known as perfluoroammonium) is a positively charged polyatomic ion with chemical formula NF+
4. It is equivalent to the ammonium ion where the hydrogen atoms surrounding the central nitrogen atom have been replaced by fluorine.[1] Tetrafluoroammonium ion is isoelectronic with tetrafluoromethane CF
4, trifluoramine oxide ONF
3, tetrafluoroborate BF−
4 anion and the tetrafluoroberyllate BeF2−
4 anion.
The tetrafluoroammonium ion forms salts with a large variety of fluorine-bearing anions. These include the bifluoride anion (HF−
2), tetrafluorobromate (BrF−
4), metal pentafluorides (MF−
5 where M is Ge, Sn, or Ti), hexafluorides (MF−
6 where M is P, As, Sb, Bi, or Pt), heptafluorides (MF−
7 where M is W, U, or Xe), octafluorides (XeF2−
8),[2] various oxyfluorides (MF
5O−
where M is W or U; FSO−
3, BrF
4O−
), and perchlorate (ClO−
4).[3] Attempts to make the nitrate salt, NF
4NO
3, were unsuccessful because of quick fluorination: NF+
4 + NO−
3 → NF
3 + FONO
2.[4]
