Bistriflimide
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bistriflimide, systematically known as bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonimide is a non-coordinating anion with the chemical formula of [(CF3SO2)2N]-. The anion is widely used in ionic liquids, since it is less toxic and more stable than more "traditional" counterions such as tetrafluoroborate. Developing a IUPAC name for bistriflimide that indicates the structure and reactivity is challenging, and changes to current names have been proposed.[1]
