Ammonium Bifluoride By Fluorides And Chemicals

Our company has earned fame and name in the exporting and manufacturing of Ammonium bifluoride in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. this Ammonium hydrogen fluoride is the inorganic compound with the formula NH4HF2 or NH4FA.HF. It is produced from ammonia and hydrogen fluoride. This colourless salt is a glass-etchant and an intermediate in a once-contemplated route to hydrofluoric acid.

Ammonium bifluoride, as its name indicates, contains an ammonium cation (NH4+) and a bifluoride, or hydrogen(difluoride), anion (HF2a ). The centrosymmetric triatomic bifluoride anion features the strongest known hydrogen bond, with a Fa H length of 114 pm. and a bond energy greater than 155 kJ mola 1.

In solid [NH4][HF2], each ammonium cation is surrounded by four fluoride centers in a tetrahedron, with hydrogen-fluorine hydrogen bonds present between the hydrogen atoms of the ammonium ion and the fluorine atoms.[citation needed] Solutions contain tetrahedral [NH4]+ cations and linear [HF2]a anions.
