Nitronium tetrafluoroborate is an inorganic compound with formula NO2BF4. It is a salt of nitronium cation and tetrafluoroborate anion.{{Cite journal |last=Krossing |first=Ingo |last2=Raabe |first2=Ines |last3=Birtalan |first3=Esther |date=2007-01-12 |title=Nitronium tetrafluoroborate |url=https://scripts.iucr.org/cgi-bin/paper?S1600536807000207 |journal=Acta Crystallographica Section E: Structure Reports Online |volume=63 |issue=2 |pages=i43–i44 |doi=10.1107/S1600536807000207 |issn=1600-5368}} It is a colorless crystalline solid, which reacts with water to form the corrosive acids HF and HNO3. As such, it must be handled under water-free conditions. It is sparsely soluble in many organic solvents.

Preparation

Nitronium tetrafluoroborate can be prepared by adding a mixture of anhydrous hydrogen fluoride and boron trifluoride to a nitromethane solution of nitric acid or dinitrogen pentoxide.{{cite book| title = Aromatic nitration| author = Kenneth Schofield| publisher = CUP Archive| year = 1980| isbn = 0-521-23362-3| page = 88}}

Applications

Nitronium tetrafluoroborate is used in organic synthesis as an electrophilic nitrating agent and a mild oxidant.{{Citation |last=Olah |first=George A. |title=Nitronium Tetrafluoroborate |date=2001-04-15 |work=Encyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis |editor-last=John Wiley & Sons, Ltd |url=https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/047084289X.rn043 |access-date=2024-11-27 |place=Chichester, UK |publisher=John Wiley & Sons, Ltd |language=en |doi=10.1002/047084289x.rn043 |isbn=978-0-471-93623-7 |last2=Prakash |first2=G.
