The compound [N (~-Bu)~+][H (OTeF5) 2-] was prepared from HOTeF, and [N (~- Bu)~+][OTeF5-]. It crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group Pi (No. 2). Unit cell parameters are a= 9.838 (3) A, b= 9.938 (3) A, c= 14.324 (4) A,(Y= 71.89 (2) O,@= 83.31 (2)", y= 79.72 (2)", and Z= 2. The H (OTeF5),-ion is unusual in several respects. NMR and IR spectral data suggest that it contains a very strong 0-HO hydrogen bond. Unlike all other ...
