Protactinium (V) oxide is a chemical compound of protactinium and oxygen with the formula Pa 2 O 5 . It is a white, crystalline powder and crystallizes face-centered cubically with a lattice constant of 545.5 pm.

properties

Protactinium (V) oxide occurs in several polymorphic modifications, which can be specifically represented by a suitable choice of the test conditions. The cubic form is obtained by precipitating a Pa (V) salt solution, a protactinium (V) oxide hydrate being formed, which is dried and ignited in air at 600-700 ° C. Tetragonal protactinium (V) oxide is formed from the hydrate or the cubic oxide when heated in air to 700–900 ° C. Hexagonal protactinium (V) oxide is obtained either in a quartz ampoule in an oxygen atmosphere at 1075 ° C or in air at 1050 ° C. When heated in air to 1200–1500 ° C, this is partially converted into a rhombohedral modification.

safety instructions

Classifications according to the CLP regulation are not available because they only include the chemical hazard, which plays a completely subordinate role compared to the hazards based on radioactivity . The latter also only applies if the amount of substance involved is relevant.

use

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