Abstract

The {N(C2H5)4}2[UF6]·2H2O (1), {N(C2H5)4}2[HfF6]·2H2O (2), and {N(C2H5)4}2[CeF6]·6H2O (3) salts were prepared in high yield (ca. 80 %) from the reaction of MF4 with tetraethylammonium fluoride in propylene carbonate and for the first time their solid‐state structures characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. The compounds 1, 2 and 3crystallize in the space groups Pcca, P21/n1 and Pca21, respectively. In 1, 2, and 3 the MF62–anions are almost octahedral with average M–F distances of 2.16, 1.999, and 2.148 Å.
