Synthesis

edit

Arsenic pentafluoride can be prepared by direct combination of arsenic and fluorine:[3]

2As + 5F2 → 2AsF5

It can also be prepared by the reaction of arsenic trifluoride and fluorine:

AsF3 + F2 → AsF5

or the addition of fluorine to arsenic pentoxide or arsenic trioxide.

2As2O5 + 10F2 → 4AsF5 + 5O2
2As2O3 + 10F2 → 4AsF5 + 3O2

Properties

edit

Arsenic pentafluoride is a colourless gas and has a trigonal bipyramidal structure.[3] In the solid state the axial As−F bond lengths are 171.9 pm and the equatorial 166.8 pm. [3] Its point group is D3h.

Reactions

edit

Arsenic pentafluoride forms halide complexes and is a powerful fluoride acceptor. An example is the reaction with sulfur tetrafluoride, forming an ionic hexafluoroarsenate complex.[4]

AsF5 + SF4 → SF3+ + AsF6
