Potassium heptafluorotantalate , according to IUPAC more precisely potassium heptafluoridotantalate (V), is an inorganic chemical compound of potassium from the group of fluoridotantalates.
Extraction and presentation
Potassium heptafluorotantalate can be obtained by reacting tantalum (V) oxide with hydrofluoric acid and potassium hydrogen difluoride .
properties
Potassium heptafluorotantalate is a white solid that is in the form of shiny, thin, short needles. It can easily be recrystallized from hydrofluoric acid. The compound has an orthorhombic crystal structure above 200 ° C with the space group Pmma (space group no. 51) . Otherwise a monoclinic crystal structure with the space group P 2 1 / c (No. 14) .
use
Potassium heptafluorotantalate is used for the electrochemical synthesis of tantalum diboride TaB 2 . It is also used to produce tantalum by reducing it with sodium . In a similar way, Jöns Jakob Berzelius first produced tantalum in 1825 , using potassium instead of sodium. K 2 [TaF 7 ] doped with Mn 4+ has been proposed as a luminescent material for warm white LEDs , since it exhibits intense narrow-band red luminescence under UV or blue excitation .
