Abstract
The crystal structures of potassium, ammonium, and rubidium tetrafluoborates have been redetermined. The structure of cesium tetrafluoborate has also been established. These 4 compounds are isomorphous and show orthorhombic symmetry, space group Pbnm. Atomic parameters have been obtained from a block diagonal least squares refinement using anisotropic temperature parameters. The final agreement residuals for observed reflections were KBF4, R = 0.072; NH4BF4, R = 0.075; RbBF4, R = 0.064; and CsBF4, R = 0.051.There are significant differences between some of the B—F bond distances in the [BF4]− ions. The shortest N—(H)F distance in NH4BF4 is 2.914 Å (estimated standard deviation 0.005 Å) which is long for a hydrogen bond. The positions of the hydrogen atoms in the NH4+ ion could not be established.
