Technetium pentaluoride is a binary inorganic chemical compound of technetium metal and fluorine with the chemical formula TcF5.[1][2][3][4]

Synthesis

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

2Tc + 5F
2
  → 2TcF
5

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

2TcF
6
+ I
2
  → 2TcF
5
+ 2IF

Physical properties

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

Chemical properties

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

3TcF
5
+ 8H
2
O → HTcO
4
+ 2TcO
2
+ 15HF
