Thiazyl trifluoride is a chemical compound of nitrogen, sulfur, and fluorine, having the formula NSF₃. It exists as a stable, colourless gas, and is an important precursor to other sulfur-nitrogen-fluorine compounds.^[1] It has tetrahedral molecular geometry around the sulfur atom, and is regarded to be a prime example of a compound that has a sulfur-nitrogen triple bond.^[2]

Preparation edit

NSF₃ can be synthesised by the fluorination of thiazyl fluoride, NSF, with silver(II) fluoride, AgF₂:

NSF + 2 AgF₂ → NSF₃ + 2 AgF

or by the oxidative decomposition of FC(O)NSF₂ by silver(II) fluoride:^[3]

FC(O)NSF₂ + 2 AgF₂ → NSF₃ + 2 AgF + COF₂

It is also a product of the oxidation of ammonia by S₂F₁₀.^[4]

Reactions edit

NSF₃ is much more stable than thiazyl fluoride, does not reacts with ammonia and hydrogen chloride, and only reacts with sodium at 400 °C.^[5] It reacts with carbonyl fluoride (COF₂) in the presence of hydrogen fluoride to form pentafluorosulfanyl isocyanate (SF₅NCO).^[6]
