Tungsten(VI) oxytetrafluoride (WOF4) is an inorganic chemical compound.

Preparation

Tungsten(VI) oxytetrafluoride can be synthesized by the reaction of fluorine and tungsten trioxide.[4]

It can also be obtained by reacting tungsten with a mixture of oxygen and fluorine at high temperatures.[1] Partial hydrolysis of tungsten hexafluoride will also produce WOF4.[5]

[math]\ce{ WF6 + H2O -> WOF4 + 2 HF }[/math]

The reaction of tungsten(VI) oxytetrachloride and hydrogen fluoride will also produce WOF4.[3]

[math]\ce{ WOCl4 + 4HF -> WOF4 + 4HCl }[/math]

WOF4 can also prepared by the reaction of lead(II) fluoride and tungsten trioxide at 700 °C.[3]

[math]\ce{ 2PbF2 + WO3 -> WOF4 + 2PbO }[/math]

Properties

Tungsten(VI) oxytetrafluoride is a colourless solid which hydrolyze into tungstic acid.[1][5]

[math]\ce{ WOF4 + 2 H2O -> WO3 + 4 HF }[/math]

Solid WOF4 is previously assumed as a tetramer,[6] which was later questioned by spectroscopic investigations. In the gas state, this molecule has a monomeric structure.[7] It can form complexes with acetonitrile and other compounds.[8][9]
