Octafluoride
An octafluoride is a compound or ion with the formula or , where ''n'', ''m'' and ''q'' are independent variables and R any substituent and M is a central element (often a metal). All of the examples listed below are with ''q'' between 1 and 4 inclusive. Neutral octafluorides No electrically neutral octafluorides are currently known to exist, although osmium octafluoride, , is theoretically possible. An early report of the synthesis of was much later shown to be a mistaken identification of . Anionic octafluorides In contrast, many anionic octafluorides are known, such as the octafluorozirconate(IV) (), octafluorotantalate(V) (), octafluoroniobate(V) (), octafluoromolybdate(VI) (), octafluorotungstate(VI) (), octafluororhenate(VII) (), octafluoroiodate(VII) (), octafluoroiridate(VII) (), and octafluoroxenate(VI) () anions.

Fluorine
Fluorine is a chemical element with the symbol F and atomic number 9. It is the lightest halogen and exists at standard conditions as a highly toxic, pale yellow diatomic gas. As the most electronegative reactive element, it is extremely reactive, as it reacts with all other elements except for the light inert gases. Among the elements, fluorine ranks 24th in universal abundance and 13th in terrestrial abundance. Fluorite, the primary mineral source of fluorine which gave the element its name, was first described in 1529; as it was added to metal ores to lower their melting points for smelting, the Latin verb meaning 'flow' gave the mineral its name. Proposed as an element in 1810, fluorine proved difficult and dangerous to separate from its compounds, and several early experimenters died or sustained injuries from their attempts. Only in 1886 did French chemist Henri Moissan isolate elemental fluorine using low-temperature electrolysis, a process still employed for modern pr ...

Osmium Hexafluoride
Osmium hexafluoride, also osmium(VI) fluoride, (OsF6) is a compound of osmium and fluorine, and one of the seventeen known binary hexafluorides. Synthesis Osmium hexafluoride is made by a direct reaction of osmium metal exposed to an excess of elemental fluorine gas at 300 °C. : + 3 → Description Osmium hexafluoride is a yellow crystalline solid that melts at 33.4 °C and boils at 47.5 °C. The solid structure measured at −140 °C is orthorhombic space group ''Pnma''. Lattice parameters are ''a'' = 9.387 Å, ''b'' = 8.543 Å, and ''c'' = 4.944 Å. There are four formula units (in this case, discrete molecules) per unit cell, giving a density of 5.09 g·cm−3. The OsF6 molecule itself (the form important for the liquid or gas phase) has octahedral molecular geometry, which has point group ('' Oh''). The Os–F bond length In molecular geometry, bond length or bond distance is defined as th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Rhenium Heptafluoride
Rhenium heptafluoride is the compound with the formula ReF7. It is a yellow low melting solid and is the only thermally stable metal heptafluoride. It has a distorted pentagonal bipyramidal structure similar to IF7, which was confirmed by neutron diffraction at 1.5 K. The structure is non-rigid, as evidenced by electron diffraction studies. Production, reactions and properties Rhenium heptafluoride can be prepared from the elements at 400 °C: :2 Re + 7 F2 → 2 ReF7 It also can be produced by the explosion of rhenium metal under sulfur hexafluoride. It hydrolyzes under a base to form perrhenic acid and hydrogen fluoride: :ReF7 + 4H2O → HReO4 + 7HF With fluoride donors such as CsF, the ReF8− anion is formed, which has a square antiprismatic structure. With antimony pentafluoride Antimony pentafluoride is the inorganic compound with the formula Sb F5.
