Results in brief
Fluorinated Weakly Coordinating Anions for Coordination Chemistry of Unusual Ligands
The goal of this project was to prepare complexes or co-crystals of unusual and sometimes unstable ligands. The obtained coordination compounds stabilized by fluorinated weakly coordinating anions were synthesised, manipulated, and crystallised at low temperatures by special experimental techniques. Furthermore, crystalline samples were subjected to low-temperature single-crystal X-ray diffraction in order to obtain a detailed structural information on the ligands or the interactions between the ligands and central cations. Thereby, the fundamental knowledge and understanding of the structural chemistry and the reactivity of selected ligand molecules were significantly extended.

Project objective
The aim of the project is to prepare metal-complexes of weakly coordinating anions and unusual ligands (nitrous oxide, dihydrogen trioxide, krypton difluoride, xenon tetrafluoride, xenon difluoride, and hydrogen fluoride) and subject them to single crystal X-ray diffraction in order to obtain a detailed structural information of the ligand (dihydrogen trioxide) or the metal-ligand interaction (nitrous oxide, dihydrogen trioxide, krypton difluoride, xenon tetrafluoride, xenon difluoride, and hydrogen fluoride). The approach of the proposal is based on merging the experimental techniques (low temperature isolation and structural characterisation, especially used and developed in noble gas chemistry) and chemistries (fluorinated super weakly coordinating anions) with the fields (nitrous oxide and dihydrogen trioxide chemistry) where they have not been used before. Fundamental insights on the nature of the interactions between metals and aforementioned ligands (nitrous oxide, dihydrogen trioxide) would have environmental, technological, and implications in biological systems.
