|
|
|
|
|
|

==Structure== |
⚫ |
CoF<sub>3</sub> is prepared in the laboratory by treating CoCl<sub>2</sub> with ] at 250 °C:<ref>Priest, H. F. “Anhydrous Metal Fluorides” Inorganic Syntheses McGraw-Hill: New York, 1950; Vol. 3, pages 171-183.</ref> |

|
:] + 3/2 F<sub>2</sub> → CoF<sub>3</sub> + Cl<sub>2</sub> |
|
|
This conversion is a redox reaction, Co<sup>2+</sup> is converted to Co<sup>3+</sup> and chloride to ] at the expense of fluorine, which is converted to fluoride. Cobalt(II) oxide (CoO) and cobalt(II) fluoride (CoF<sub>2</sub>) can also be converted to cobalt(III) fluoride using fluorine. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
===Anhydrous=== |
⚫ |
CoF<sub>3</sub> is hygroscopic and can be converted to the anion <sup>3-</sup>, a rare example of a high-spin, octahedral cobalt(III) complex. |
|
|
|
Anhydrous cobalt trifluoride crystallizes in the ] group, specifically according to the ] motif, with ''a'' = 527.9 ], ''α'' = 56.97°. Each cobalt atom is bound to six fluorine atoms in octahedral geometry, with Co–F distances of 189 pm. Each fluoride is a doubly bridging ligand.<ref name=levason/> |

===Hydrates=== |
⚫ |
Used as slurry, CoF<sub>3</sub> converts ]s to the ]: |

A hydrate {{chem2|CoF3*3.5H2O}} is known. It is conjectured to be better described as {{chem2|*0.5H2O}}.<ref name=levason/> |
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is a report of an hydrate {{chem2|CoF3*3.5H2O}}, isomorphic to {{chem2|AlF3*3H2O}}.<ref name=levason/> |

Such reactions are sometimes accompanied by rearrangements or other reactions.<ref name=Coe/> The related reagent KCoF<sub>4</sub> is more selective.<ref>Coe, P. L.

==Preparation== |
|
⚫ |
Cobalt trifluoride can be prepared in the laboratory by treating ] with ] at 250 °C:<ref name=priest>H. F. Priest (1950): "Anhydrous Metal Fluorides". In ''Inorganic Syntheses'', McGraw-Hill, volume 3, pages 171-183. {{doi|10.1002/9780470132340.ch47}}</ref><ref name=levason/> |
|
|
:{{chem2|CoCl2}} + 3/2 {{chem2|F2}} → {{chem2|CoF3}} + {{chem2|Cl2}} |
|
|
In this redox reaction, {{chem2|Co(2+)}} and {{chem2|Cl(-)}} are oxidized to {{chem2|Co(3+)}} and {{chem2|Cl2}}, respectively, while {{chem2|F2}} is reduced to {{chem2|F(-)}}. Cobalt(II) oxide (CoO) and cobalt(II) fluoride ({{chem2|CoF2}}) can also be converted to cobalt(III) fluoride using fluorine.<ref name=levason>W. Levason and C. A. McAuliffe (1974): "Higher oxidation state chemistry of iron, cobalt, and nickel". ''Coordination Chemistry Reviews'', volume 12, issue 2, pages 151-184. {{doi|10.1016/S0010-8545(00)82026-3}}</ref> |
|
|
|
|
|
The compound can also be formed by treating {{chem2|CoCl2}} with ] {{chem2|ClF3}} or ] {{chem2|BrF3}}.<ref name=levason/> |
|

|
==Reactions== |
|

{{chem2|CoF3}} decomposes upon contact with water to give oxygen: |
|
⚫ |
:4 {{chem2|CoF3}} + 2 H<sub>2</sub>O → 4 HF + 4 Co{{chem2|F2}} + O<sub>2</sub> |
|
|
|
|

It reacts with fluoride salts to give the anion <sup>3−</sup>, which is also features high-spin, octahedral cobalt(III) center. |

==Applications== |
|
⚫ |
{{chem2|CoF3}} is a powerful fluorinating agent. Used as slurry, {{chem2|CoF3}} converts ]s to the ]: |
|
|
:2 {{chem2|CoF3}} + R-H → 2 Co{{chem2|F2}} + R-F + HF |

==Gaseous {{chem2|CoF3}}== |
|
|
In the gas phase, {{chem2|CoF3}} is calculated to be planar in its ground state, and has a 3-fold rotation axis (point group D<sub>3h</sub>). The {{chem2|Co(3+)}} ion has a ground state of 3d<sup>6</sup> <sup>5</sup>D. The fluoride ligands split this state into, in energy order, <sup>5</sup>A', <sup>5</sup>E", and <sup>5</sup>E' states. The first energy difference is small and the <sup>5</sup>E" state is subject to the ], so this effect needs to be considered to be sure of the ground state. The energy lowering is small and does not change the energy order.<ref>{{cite journal | last1=Yates | first1 =J. H. | last2=Pitzer | first2 = R.
