All manipulations were carried out in the absence of atmospheric oxygen or moisture in either an Aldrich glove bag or using standard Schlenk line techniques and house nitrogen. Starting materials were obtained from Aldrich and Et3N was dried over 3 Å molecular sieves. 1.5996 g Si3N4, 1.27 ml Et3N.3HF and 7 ml Et3N (molar ratio 1 Si: 1 F: 12 Et3N) were combined and stirred to homogeneity. The mixture was placed inside a 25 ml teflon-lined autoclave and heated for 12 days at 240 °C. The autoclave was then cooled by removal from the oven and the mixture washed with dry Et3N and dried under vacuum. Products were stored in a Glovebox Technology argon-filled dry box. Powder X-ray diffraction showed Si3N4 and SiF4(NHEt2)2 to be the major phases, with SiF4(NH2Et)2 corresponding to approximately 15% of the product by reference to the observed intensities.
The NH hydrogen atoms were located in a difference Fourier map and their coordinates and isotropic displacement parameters subsequently refined. Other hydrogen atoms were positioned geometrically after each cycle of refinement. Examination of the packing of the structure shows that there are additional pseudosymmetry operators which would correspond to the (non-standard) space group A2/a, but in order to adopt this symmetry all atoms other than Si would be required to be disordered. Examination of the original intensity data clearly shows no absences indicative of the A-centring, confirming the original symmetry assignment.
The molecule is located on a centre of symmetry (Fig. 1). Intramolecular hydrogen bonds (N—H···F) link the molecules to form infinite sheets running parallel to the bc plane (Fig. 2). A third relatively short interaction (N1···F1 3.054 (2) Å) is apparently not a hydrogen bond and the largest N—H···F angle is ca 130°. The secondary C atom C1 has relatively large displacement parameters compared to its neighbours, suggesting that there may be some unresolved disorder of the ethyl group. Related adducts of silicon tetrafluoride are described in Ennan & Kats (1974).

The molecule is located on a centre of symmetry (Fig. 1). Intramolecular hydrogen bonds (N—H···F) link the molecules to form infinite sheets running parallel to the bc plane (Fig. 2). A third relatively short interaction (N1···F1 3.054 (2) Å) is apparently not a hydrogen bond and the largest N—H···F angle is ca 130°. The secondary C atom C1 has relatively large displacement parameters compared to its neighbours, suggesting that there may be some unresolved disorder of the ethyl group. Related adducts of silicon tetrafluoride are described in Ennan & Kats (1974).
