The combination of CH3CN solutions of N(CH3)4F and a mixture of cis- and trans-N(CH3)4IO2F4 produces the novel trans-IO2F5(2-) anion. Under the given conditions, only the trans-IO2F4(-) anion acts as a fluoride ion acceptor, thus allowing the separation of isomerically pure, soluble cis-IO2F4(-) from insoluble trans-IO2F5(2-).
