Sulfur trifluoride

Structure and synthesis

Sulfur trifluoride is predicted to be pyramidal.

is generated by irradiation of crystals of trifluorosulfonium tetrafluoroborate with gamma rays.

{{chem|SF|3|-}}

A derivative formally derived from is the coordination complex Ir(Cl)(CO)(F)(SF3)(Et3P)2 obtained by oxidative addition of sulfur tetrafluoride to Ir(Cl)(CO)(PEt3)2 (Et = C2H5).
