Ammonium hexafluorophosphate is theinorganic compound with the formula NH4PF6. It is a white water-soluble, hygroscopic solid. The compound is a salt consisting of theammonium cation andhexafluorophosphate anion. It is commonly used as a source of the hexafluorophosphate anion, aweakly coordinating anion. It is prepared by combining neatammonium fluoride andphosphorus pentachloride. Alternatively it can also be produced fromphosphonitrilic chloride:[1]
