Chemical compound

Arsenic pentafluoride is a chemical compound of arsenic and fluorine. The oxidation state of arsenic is +5.

Synthesis

Arsenic pentafluoride can be prepared by direct combination of arsenic and fluorine:

2As + 5F2 → 2AsF5

It can also be prepared by the reaction of arsenic trifluoride and fluorine:

AsF3 + F2 → AsF5

Properties

Arsenic pentafluoride is a colourless gas and has a trigonal bipyramidal structure. In the solid state the axial As-F bond lengths are 171.9 pm and the equatorial 166.8 pm.

Reactions

Arsenic pentafluoride forms halide complexes and is a powerful acceptor as shown by the reaction with sulfur tetrafluoride forming an ionic complex.

AsF5 + SF4 → SF3 + AsF6
