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

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 S

Reactions

NSF3 reacts with carbonyl fluoride (COF2) in the presence of hydrogen fluoride to form pentafluorosulfanyl isocyanate (SF5NCO).[5]
