Protactinium (V) fluoride is a chemical compound consisting of the elements protactinium and fluorine . It has the formula PaF 5 and belongs to the fluoride class of substances .

presentation

Protactinium (V) fluoride can be obtained by reacting protactinium (V) oxide with bromine (III) fluoride or bromine (V) fluoride at 600 ° C.

It is also possible to display it by reacting protactinium (V) chloride or protactinium (IV) fluoride with fluorine at 700 ° C.

Protactinium (V) fluoride hydrate can be obtained by reacting protactinium (V) oxide with aqueous hydrofluoric acid .

The thermal decomposition of protactinium-fluorine complexes also partially leads to protactinium (V) -fluoride,

properties

Protactinium (V) fluoride is a white, volatile, extremely hygroscopic solid that is partially soluble in water and better in hydrofluoric acid. It has a tetragonal crystal structure of the β- uranium pentafluoride type with the space group I 4 2 d (space group no. 122) with the lattice parameters a = 1153 pm, c = 510 pm. Quartz and Pyrex are attacked by the compound at higher temperatures. As a dihydrate, it is a colorless, hygroscopic, crystalline solid with a waxy texture that is soluble in water and hydrofluoric acid. It reacts with phosphorus trifluoride to form protactinium (IV) fluoride. The dihydrate cannot be converted into the anhydrate in air, hydrogen fluoride and fluorine at low temperatures. Instead, diprotactinium (V) oxide octafluoride Pa 2 OF 8 is formed . At higher temperatures around 325 ° C a mixture of the latter and protactinium (V) fluoride is formed. Template: room group / 122
