Nitrogen trifluoride is the inorganic compound with the formula (NF 3).It is a colorless, non-flammable, toxic gas with a slightly musty odor.In contrast with ammonia, it is nonbasic.
Tetrafluoroammonium salts are prepared by oxidising nitrogen trifluoride with fluorine in the presence of a strong Lewis acid which acts as a fluoride ion acceptor. The original synthesis by Tolberg, Rewick, Stringham, and Hill in 1966 employs antimony pentafluoride as the Lewis acid: [5]

Lewis structure of a water molecule. Lewis structures – also called Lewis dot formulas, Lewis dot structures, electron dot structures, or Lewis electron dot structures (LEDs) – are diagrams that show the bonding between atoms of a molecule, as well as the lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the molecule.
Nitrogen difluoride is formed during the function of a xenon monofluoride excimer laser. Nitrogen trifluoride is the halide carrier gas, which releases fluoride ions when impacted by electrons: [1]
The number of electron pairs in the valence shell of a central atom is determined after drawing the Lewis structure of the molecule, and expanding it to show all bonding groups and lone pairs of electrons. [1]: 410–417 In VSEPR theory, a double bond or triple bond is treated as a single bonding group. [1]
Possible structure of NF 5 (left) and analogous fluorohydrides. For a NF 5 molecule to form, five fluorine atoms have to be arranged around a nitrogen atom. There is insufficient space to do this at typical nitrogen–fluorine covalent-bond lengths, so at least some bonds are forced to be longer.
Boron trifluoride is a versatile Lewis acid that forms adducts with such Lewis bases as fluoride and ethers: CsF + BF 3 → Cs[BF 4] O(CH 2 CH 3) 2 + BF 3 → BF 3 ·O(CH 2 CH 3) 2. Tetrafluoroborate salts are commonly employed as non-coordinating anions.
