Graphical Abstract

Solved at last: The crystal structure of solid SF₄, which has a melting point of −121 °C, has been obtained. It exhibits weak intermolecular S⋅⋅⋅F interactions. A similar structural motif was observed within a layer of SF₄ in [HNC₅H₃(CH₃)₂⁺]₂F⁻⋅⋅⋅SF₄[SF₅⁻]⋅3 SF₄. The latter structure contains a range of bonding modes between S and F, namely SF₅⁻, F₄S⋅⋅⋅F⁻, F₄S⋅⋅⋅FSF₄⁻, and F₄S⋅⋅⋅FSF₃.
