Molybdenum oxytetrafluoride is the inorganic compound with the formula MoOF4. It is a white, diamagnetic solid. According to X-ray crystallography, it is a coordination polymer consisting of a linear chain of alternating Mo and F atoms. Each Mo center is octahedral, the coordination sphere being defined by oxide, three terminal fluorides, and two bridging fluorides.[1] In contrast to this motif, tungsten oxytetrafluoride crystallizes as a tetramer, again with bridging fluoride ligands.[2]

Reactions

The acetonitrile adduct of molybdenum oxytetrafluoride can be prepared by treating molybdenum hexafluoride with hexamethyldisiloxane in acetonitrile:[3]

Molybdenum oxytetrafluoride is susceptible to hydrolysis to give molybdenum difluoride dioxide.
