Synthesis

edit

The compound can be synthesised by heating of technetium powder in a jet of fluorine diluted with nitrogen:

2Tc + 5F2  → 2TcF5

Another way to prepare it is the effect of iodine on technetium hexafluoride solution in iodine pentafluoride:[5]

2TcF6 + I2  → 2TcF5 + 2IF

Physical properties

edit

Technetium pentafluoride forms yellow crystals[6] of orthorhombic crystal system.[7] It reacts with water, and is volatile.

Chemical properties

edit

The compound is hydrolyzed by water, disproportionating to more stable technetium compounds:

3TcF5 + 8H2O → HTcO4 + 2TcO2 + 15HF
