Bistriflimide, also known variously as bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonimide, bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imidate (and variations thereof), informally and somewhat inaccurately as triflimide or triflimidate, or by the abbreviations TFSI or NTf2, is a non-coordinating anion with the chemical formula [(CF3SO2)2N]. Its salts are typically referred to as being metal triflimidates.
