Niobium(IV) Iodide

	Niobium(IV) Iodide Niobium(IV) iodide is an iodide of niobium, with the chemical formula of NbI4. Preparation Niobium(IV) iodide can be obtained by the decomposition of niobium(V) iodide Niobium(V) iodide is the inorganic compound with the formula Nb2I10. Its name comes from the compound's empirical formula, NbI5. It is a diamagnetic, yellow solid that hydrolyses readily. The compound adopts an edge-shared bioctahedral structur ... under a vacuum at 206-270 °C. Properties Niobium(IV) iodide is a grey solid that reacts with water. Niobium(IV) iodide is an orthorhombic crystal with space group Cmc21 (No. 36). Its crystal is formed by NbI6 octahedra connected by edges and also contains Nb-Nb bonds. At 348 to 417 °C, the crystal structure of niobium(IV) iodide changes. Niobium(IV) iodide turns into a metal under extremely high pressure. References {{Iodides Niobium compounds Iodides ...

	Niobium(IV) Fluoride Niobium(IV) fluoride is a chemical compound with the formula . It is a nonvolatile black solid. Properties absorbs vapor strongly and turns into in moist air. It reacts with water to form a brown solution and a brown precipitate whose components are unknown. It is stable between 275 °C and 325 °C when heated in a vacuum. However, it disproportionates at 350 °C rapidly to form niobium(V) fluoride and niobium(III) fluoride: : (at 350 °C) Structure Niobium(IV) fluoride adopts a crystal structure analogous to that of tin(IV) fluoride Tin(IV) fluoride is a chemical compound of tin and fluorine with the chemical formula SnF4 and is a white solid with a melting point above 700 °C. SnF4 can be prepared by the reaction of tin metal with fluorine gas: :Sn + 2F2 → SnF4 Howev ..., in which each niobium atom is surrounded by six fluorine atoms forming an octahedron. Of the six fluorine atoms surrounding a single niobium atom, four are bridging to adjacent octahedra, lea ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Niobium(IV) Chloride Niobium(IV) chloride, also known as niobium tetrachloride, is the chemical compound of formula NbCl4. This compound exists as dark violet crystals, is highly sensitive to air and moisture, and disproportiates into niobium(III) chloride and niobium(V) chloride when heated.Macintyre, J.E.; Daniel, F.M.; Chapman and Hall; Stirling, V.M. Dictionary of Inorganic Compounds. 1992, Cleveland, OH: CRC Press, p. 2957 Structure and properties In the solid state, niobium(IV) chloride exists as chains of edge-sharing Octahedral molecular geometry, octahedra with alternating Nb-Nb distances of lengths 302.9 and 379.4 pm. The shorter distances correspond to Nb-Nb bonds, which result in the compound's diamagnetism. Its structure is very similar to that of tungsten(IV) chloride. Other coordination complexes with the formula NbCl4L2, such as tetrachlorobis(tetrahydrofuran) niobium, only form monomers resulting in one unpaired electron in the d''xy'' orbital, making the compounds paramagnetic. ...

picture info	Niobium(IV) Bromide Niobium is a chemical element with chemical symbol Nb (formerly columbium, Cb) and atomic number 41. It is a light grey, crystalline, and ductile transition metal. Pure niobium has a Mohs hardness rating similar to pure titanium, and it has similar ductility to iron. Niobium oxidizes in Earth's atmosphere very slowly, hence its application in jewelry as a hypoallergenic alternative to nickel. Niobium is often found in the minerals pyrochlore and columbite, hence the former name "columbium". Its name comes from Greek mythology: Niobe, daughter of Tantalus, the namesake of tantalum. The name reflects the great similarity between the two elements in their physical and chemical properties, which makes them difficult to distinguish. English chemist Charles Hatchett reported a new element similar to tantalum in 1801 and named it columbium. In 1809, English chemist William Hyde Wollaston wrongly concluded that tantalum and columbium were identical. German chemist Heinrich Rose deter ...
