Abstract
Two calcium hexafluoroarsenates(V) with metal coordinated HF were structurally characterised: Ca(HF)(AsF6)2 and Ca(HF)6(AsF6)2. Ca(HF)(AsF6)2 crystallizes in a monoclinic crystal system, space group P21/c, with a =962.4(6) pm, b = 926.4(5) pm and c = 1059.2(7) pm, b = 104.161(13)°, V = 0.9157(10) nm3 and Z = 4. Ca(HF)6(AsF6)2 crystallizes in a monoclinic crystal system, space group P21/c, with a =1004.9(5) pm, b = 1498.7(7) pm and c = 984.0(5) pm, b = 109.56(11)°, V = 1.3965(12) nm3 and Z = 4.

Key words: calcium, hexafluoroarsenates, hydrogen fluorid
