Introduction to Problem Solving Skills. What is Problem Solving and Why is it Important? The ability to solve problems is a basic life skill and is essential to our day-to-day lives, at home, at school, and at work. We solve problems every day without really thinking about how we solve them.
Nitronium tetrafluoroborate is an inorganic compound with formula NOBF. 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 HNO.
kinetic studies. However, nitronium perchlorate wasunstable (explosive) andtherefore it wasnotfurther studied. Preparation of stable nitronium salts as nitrating reagents necessitatedthe useofcounterions that couldgivenounstable esters. Olah and Kuhnreported the preparation ofnitronium tetrafluoroborate andits application as anitratingagent(8-10). Nitronium tetrafluoroborate is mostconveniently prepared byaddinganhydrousHFtoHNO3inasolventsuchasCH3NO2, CH2C12, or the like andthen saturatingthe solution with BF3:
