Niobium perchlorate is a chemical compound with the formula Nb(ClO
4)
5. It is a hygroscopic, white crystalline solid that readily reacts with moist air or water to produce niobium(V) oxide.[1][2]
Synthesis and reactions
Niobium perchlorate is produced from the reaction of niobium pentachloride and anhydrous perchloric acid:[1]
- NbCl
5 + 5 HClO
4 → Nb(ClO
4)
5 + 5 HCl
It decomposes at 70 °C (343 K; 158 °F) to niobyl perchlorate, releasing dichlorine heptoxide:[1]
- Nb(ClO
4)
5 → NbO(ClO
4)
3 + Cl
2O
7
Niobyl perchlorate further decomposes at 115 °C (388 K; 239 °F) to NbO
2ClO
4, which decomposes at 220 °C (493 K; 428 °F) to niobium pentoxide.[1]
Perchloratoniobates, such as Cs[Nb(ClO
4)
6] and Cs
2[Nb(ClO
4)
7], are produced by the reaction of perchlorate sources, such as cesium perchlorate and niobium perchlorate, in anhydrous perchloric acid at 0 °C (273 K; 32 °F).[1]
Structure
Although the structure of niobium perchlorate has not been elucidated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, the structure has been probed by IR spectroscopy and powder X-ray diffraction. Niobium perchlorate has both monodentate and bidentate perchlorate ligands.[1]
