Redox reactions in liquid NH

Reduction potentials for the reversible reduction of metal ions to the corresponding metal in aqueous solution and in liquid NH3 are listed in Table 9.5. Note that the values follow the same general trend, but that the oxidizing ability 

The single crystal structures of a number of salts containing [HF2] or [DF2] (i.e. deuterated species) have been determined by X-ray or neutron diffraction techniques these include [NH4][HF2], Na Fj], KpHFj], Rb Fj], Cs[HF2] and TlpFa). 

The anion is linear, and its formation is a consequence of the H and F atoms being involved in strong hydrogen bonding  

Information deduced from reduction potentials, and from lattice energies and solubilities, indicates that and d-block ions have more negative absolute standard 

Gibbs energies of solvation in NH3 than in H2O for alkali metal ions, values of are about the same in the two
