Application

Ammonium hexafluorophosphate (NH4PF6) can be used as a precursor for the preparation of:
  • Metal complexes, particularly iridium and rhodium complexes.       
  • Flame retardant cellulose-based materials.       
  • Cyclic amidinium and iminium ammonium hexafluorophosphate salts.        
  • The polymer-supported iridium isomerization catalyst for the selective trans isomerization of aryl allylic derivatives.
