Aluminium tris(flourosulphate)

Abstract Aluminium tris(fluorosulphate) is prepared by the reaction of aluminium tris(trifluoroacetate) and fluorosulphuric acid. The IR spectrum indicates a polymeric structure containing bridging bidentate fluorosulphate groups, giving hexacoordination around aluminium. Aluminium tris(fluorosulphate) forms coordination compounds with pyridine and bipyridyl.
