'''Caesium fluoride''' ('''cesium fluoride''' in North America), is an [[inorganic compound]] usually encountered as a hygroscopic white solid. It is more soluble and more readily [[Dissociation (chemistry)|dissociated]] than [[sodium fluoride]] or [[potassium fluoride]]. It is available in anhydrous form, and if water has been absorbed it is easy to dry by heating at 100&nbsp;°C for two hours ''[[:wikt:in vacuo|in vacuo]]''.<ref name="Friestad">{{cite book|author=Friestad, G. K.; Branchaud, B. P.|title=Handbook of Reagents for Organic Synthesis: Acidic and Basic Reagents|editor=Reich, H. J.; Rigby, J. H.|publisher=Wiley|location=New York|year=1999|pages=99–103}}</ref> Like all soluble fluorides, it is mildly [[base (chemistry)|basic]]. A notable fact about this compound is that it is the most ionic compound. Caesium has the lowest [[electronegativity]] and fluorine has the highest electronegativity.
'''Caesium fluoride''' ('''cesium fluoride''' in [[American English]]) is an [[inorganic compound]] with the formula CsF. A [[hygroscopic]] white salt, caesium fluoride is used in the [[organic synthesis|synthesis of organic compounds]] as a source of the fluoride anion.<ref>{{cite book |doi=10.1002/047084289X.rc050.pub2 |chapter=Cesium Fluoride |title=Encyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis |date=2007 |last1=Friestad |first1=Gregory K. |last2=Branchaud |first2=Bruce P. |last3=Navarrini |first3=Walter |last4=Sansotera |first4=Maurizio |isbn=978-0-471-93623-7 }}</ref> The compound is noteworthy from the pedagogical perspective as [[caesium]] also has the highest [[electropositivity]] of all commonly available elements and [[fluorine]] has the highest electronegativity.

Caesium fluoride is prepared by the action of [[hydrofluoric acid]] on [[caesium hydroxide]] or [[caesium carbonate]], followed by removal of water.
Caesium fluoride can be prepared by the reaction of [[caesium hydroxide]] (CsOH) with [[hydrofluoric acid]] (HF) and the resulting salt can then be purified by recrystallization. The reaction is shown below:


:CsOH + HF → CsF + H<sub>2</sub>O
Caesium fluoride reacts usually as a source of fluoride ion, F<sup>-</sup>. It therefore undergoes all of the usual reactions associated with soluble fluorides, for example:<ref name="greenwood">Greenwood, N.N.; Earnshaw, A. ''Chemistry of the Elements'', Pergamon Press, Oxford, UK, 1984.</ref>


Using the same reaction, another way to create caesium fluoride is to treat [[caesium carbonate]] (Cs<sub>2</sub>CO<sub>3</sub>) with hydrofluoric acid and again, the resulting salt can then be purified by recrystallization. The reaction is shown below:
:2 CsF + CaCl<sub>2</sub> → 2 CsCl + CaF<sub>2</sub>
:Cs<sub>2</sub>CO<sub>3</sub> + 2 HF → 2 CsF + H<sub>2</sub>O + CO<sub>2</sub>


CsF is more soluble than [[sodium fluoride]] or [[potassium fluoride]] in organic solvents. It is available in its anhydrous form, and if water has been absorbed, it is easy to dry by heating at 100&nbsp;°C for two hours ''[[in vacuo]]''.<ref name="Friestad">{{cite book|author1=Friestad, G.

==Crystal structure==
Caesium fluoride has the halite structure, which means that the Cs<sup>+</sup> and F<sup>&minus;</sup> pack in a [[cubic closest packed]] array as do Na<sup>+</sup> and Cl<sup>&minus;</sup> in sodium chloride. Caesium cations are larger than fluoride anions, whereas in the lithium, sodium, potassium, and rubidium halides, the cations are smaller than the anion. <ref name="greenwood"/><ref name="CRC">''Handbook of Chemistry and Physics'', 71st edition, CRC Press, Ann Arbor, Michigan, 1990.</ref>


==Applications==
==Structure==
Caesium fluoride has the [[halite]] structure, which means that the Cs<sup>+</sup> and F<sup>&minus;</sup> pack in a [[cubic closest packed]] array as do Na<sup>+</sup> and Cl<sup>&minus;</sup> in sodium chloride.<ref name=str/> Unlike sodium chloride, caesium fluoride's anion is smaller than its cation, so it is the anion size that sterically inhibits larger coordination numbers than six under normally encountered conditions. A larger halide ion would allow for the eight-coordination seen in other caesium halide crystals.
===In organic synthesis===
Being highly dissociated it is a more reactive source of fluoride than related salts. CsF is less [[hygroscopic]] alternative to [[tetra-n-butylammonium fluoride]] (TBAF) and [[TASF reagent|TAS-fluoride]] (TASF) when anhydrous "naked" [[fluoride]] [[ion]] is needed.


==Applications in organic synthesis==
====As a base====
Being highly dissociated, CsF is a more reactive source of fluoride than related alkali metal salts. CsF is an alternative to [[tetra-n-butylammonium fluoride]] (TBAF) and [[TASF reagent|TAS-fluoride]] (TASF).
As with other soluble fluorides, CsF is moderately basic, because [[hydrofluoric acid|HF]] is a weak acid. The low [[nucleophile|nucleophilicity]] of fluoride means it can be a useful base in organic chemistry.<ref name="greenwood"/>Caesium fluoride is a useful base in [[organic chemistry]], due the fact that fluoride [[ion]] is a relatively poor [[nucleophile]]. CsF gives higher yields in [[Knoevenagel condensation]] reactions than [[potassium fluoride|KF]] or [[sodium fluoride|NaF]].<ref name="Fiorenza">{{cite journal|year=1985|journal=Tetrahedron Letters|volume=26|page=787|doi=10.1016/S0040-4039(00)89137-6|title=Fluoride ion induced reactions of organosilanes: the preparation of mono and dicarbonyl compounds from β-ketosilanes|author1=Fiorenza, M|author2=Mordini, A|author3=Papaleo, S|author4=Pastorelli, S|author5=Ricci, A}}</ref>

The low [[nucleophile|nucleophilicity]] of [[fluoride]] means it can be a useful base in [[organic chemistry]].<ref name="greenwood">{{Greenwood&Earnshaw1st|pages=82–83}}</ref> CsF gives higher yields in [[Knoevenagel condensation]] reactions than [[potassium fluoride|KF]] or [[sodium fluoride|NaF]].<ref name="Fiorenza">{{cite journal|year=1985|journal=Tetrahedron Letters|volume=26|pages=787–788|doi=10.1016/S0040-4039(00)89137-6|title=Fluoride ion induced reactions of organosilanes: the preparation of mono and dicarbonyl compounds from β-ketosilanes|author1=Fiorenza, M|author2=Mordini, A|author3=Papaleo, S|author4=Pastorelli, S|author5=Ricci, A|issue=6}}</ref>
Caesium fluoride is also a popular source of fluoride in [[organofluorine chemistry]]. For example, CsF reacts with [[hexafluoroacetone]] to form a caesium perfluoroalkoxide salt, which is stable up to 60 °C, unlike the corresponding [[sodium]] or [[potassium]] salt. It will convert [[electron-deficient]] [[aryl chloride]]s to [[aromatic|aryl]] fluorides ([[halex reaction]]).<ref>{{cite journal|author=F. W. Evans, M. H. Litt, A. M. Weidler-Kubanek, F. P. Avonda|title=Reactions Catalyzed by Potassium Fluoride. 111. The Knoevenagel Reaction|year=1968|journal=Journal of Organic Chemistry|volume=33|pages=1837–1839|doi=10.1021/jo01269a028}}</ref>


====Deprotection agent====
===Formation of Cs-F bonds===
Caesium fluoride serves as a source of fluoride in [[organofluorine chemistry]]. Similarly to [[potassium]] fluoride, CsF reacts with [[hexafluoroacetone]] to form a stable perfluoroalkoxide salt.<ref>{{cite journal|author1=Evans, F. W. |author2=Litt, M. H. |author3=Weidler-Kubanek, A. M. |author4=Avonda, F. P. |title=Formation of adducts between fluorinated ketones and metal fluorides|year=1968|journal=Journal of Organic Chemistry|volume=33|pages=1837–1839|doi=10.1021/jo01269a028|issue=5}}</ref> It will convert [[electron-deficient]] [[aryl chloride]]s to [[aromatic|aryl]] fluorides ([[Halex process]]), although potassium fluoride is more commonly used.
Due to the strength of the [[silicon|Si]]–[[fluorine|F]] bond, fluoride ion is useful for [[desilylation]] reactions (removal of Si groups) in [[organic chemistry]]; caesium fluoride is an excellent source of anhydrous fluoride for such reactions. Removal of silicon groups ([[desilylation]]) is a major application for CsF in the laboratory, as its [[anhydrous]] nature allows clean formation of [[water (molecule)|water]]-sensitive intermediates. Solutions of caesium fluoride in [[THF]] or [[Dimethylformamide|DMF]] attack a wide variety of [[organosilicon]] compounds to produce an organosilicon fluoride and a [[carbanion]], which can then react with [[electrophile]]s,<ref name="CRC"/> for example:<ref name="Fiorenza"/>

===Deprotection agent===
Due to the strength of the [[silicon|Si]]–[[fluorine|F]] bond, fluoride is useful for [[desilylation]] reactions, i.e., cleavage of Si-O bonds in [[organic synthesis]].<ref>{{OrgSynth |author=Smith, Adam P. |author2=Lamba, Jaydeep J.

Desilylation is also useful for the removal of [[silyl]] [[protecting group]]s.<ref>Adam P. Smith, Jaydeep J. S. Lamba, and Cassandra L. Fraser “Efficient Synthesis of Halomethyl-2,2'-bipyridines: 4,4'-Bis(chloromethyl)-2,2'-bipyridine” Organic Syntheses, Vol. 78, p. 82 (2002); Collected Volume 10, p.107 (2004).</ref>
===Other uses===
Single crystals of the salt are transparent into the deep [[infrared]]. For this reason it is sometimes used as the windows of cells used for [[infrared spectroscopy]].
