Niobium(V) fluoride, also known as niobium pentafluoride, is the inorganic compound]] with the formula NbF5. The solid consists of tetramers [NbF5]4. It is a colorless solid that is rarely used.[1]
Preparation and reactions
Niobium pentafluoride is obtained by treatment of any niobium compound with fluorine:[2]
- 2 Nb + 5 F2 → 2 NbF5
- 2 NbCl5 + 5 F2 → 2 NbF5 + 5 Cl2
It reacts with hydrogen fluoride to give H2NbF7, a superacid.
Related compounds
In hydrofluoric acid, NbF5 converts to [[NbF7]2- and [[NbF5O]2-. The relative solubility of these potassium salts and related tantalum fluorides are the basis of the Marignac process for separation of Nb and Ta.
NbCl5 forms a dimeric structure (edge-shared bioctahedron) in contrast to the corner-shared tetrameric structure of the fluoride.
