Tetramethylammonium fluoride is the quaternary ammonium salt with the formula (CH3)4NF. This hygroscopic white solid is a source of “naked fluoride": fluoride ions not complexed with a metal atom. Most other soluble salts of fluoride are in fact bifluorides, HF2–. Historically, there have been two main approaches to prepare tetramethylammonium fluoride: hydrofluoric acid neutralization of tetramethylammonium hydroxide, and salt metathesis between different ammonium salts and inorganic fluoride sources, such as KF or CsF.[1] Because the fluoride anion is extremely basic, the salt slowly reacts with acetonitrile, inducing dimerization to CH3C(NH2)=CHCN, which co-crystallizes.[2]

- Tetramethylphosphonium fluoride (CH3)4PF forms stable acetonitrile solutions. It is prepared from the ylide and potassium bifluoride:
- (CH3)3P=CH2 + KHF2 → (CH3)4PF + KF
- Gaseous tetramethylphosphonium fluoride exists as the phosphorane but autoionizes in acetonitrile solution.[3] A more elaborate phosphazenium salt ([(CH3)2N)3P]2N+F−) is also known.[4]
- Anhydrous Tetrabutylammonium fluoride has been prepared by the reaction of hexafluorobenzene and tetrabutylammonium cyanide.[5]
