Technetium pentafluoride is a binary inorganic chemical compound of technetium metal and fluorine with the chemical formula TcF
5.[1][2][3][4]
Synthesis
[edit]The compound can be synthesised by heating of technetium powder in a jet of fluorine diluted with nitrogen:
- 2Tc + 5F2 → 2TcF5
Another way to prepare it is the effect of iodine on technetium hexafluoride solution in iodine pentafluoride:[5]
- 2TcF6 + I2 → 2TcF5 + 2IF
Physical properties
[edit]Technetium pentafluoride forms yellow crystals[6] of orthorhombic crystal system.[7] It reacts with water, and is volatile.
Chemical properties
[edit]The compound is hydrolyzed by water, disproportionating to more stable technetium compounds:
- 3TcF5 + 8H2O → HTcO4 + 2TcO2 + 15HF
