Nitronium tetrafluoroborate

Nitronium tetrafluoroborate is an inorganic compound with formula NO2BF4. It is a salt of nitronium cation and tetrafluoroborate anion. 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.[1]

Applications

Nitronium tetrafluoroborate is used as a nitration agent.

gollark: Somehow enabling iLO (HP's remote management thing) in the "shared network port" mode has resulted in my server completely failing to connect to my network at all (apart from the iLO thing) and - somehow - my computer changing its IP to an unrelated one I don't have configured anywhere and failing to connect to anything.
gollark: I'd hope that mostly they're not configured that way.
gollark: I don't think a GPU would help.
gollark: I think most containers don't come with init systems in them.
gollark: I would run it, but it's a bit problematic that the network would break if my server were to fail or whatever.
