Tungsten oxytetrafluoride is an inorganic compound with the formula WOF4. It is a colorless diamagnetic solid. The compound is one of many oxides of tungsten. It is usually encountered as product of the partial hydrolysis of tungsten hexafluoride.
Structure
As confirmed by X-ray crystallography, WOF4 crystallizes as a tetramer. The oxides are terminal, and four of the fluorides are bridging.[4] Its structure is similar to those for niobium pentafluoride and tantalum pentafluoride. In contrast, molybdenum oxytetrafluoride adopts a polymeric structure, although again the fluorides bridge and the oxides are terminal.[5]
In the gas state, this molecule is a monomer.[6] It can form complexes with acetonitrile and other compounds.[7][8]
Preparation
Tungsten(VI) oxytetrafluoride can be synthesized by the reaction of fluorine and tungsten trioxide.[4]
It can also be obtained by treating tungsten with a mixture of oxygen and fluorine at high temperatures.[1] Partial hydrolysis of tungsten hexafluoride will also produce WOF4.[9]
- WF6 + H2O → WOF4 + 2 HF
The reaction of tungsten(VI) oxytetrachloride and hydrogen fluoride will also produce WOF4.[3]
- WOCl4 + 4HF → WOF4 + 4HCl
WOF4 can also prepared by the reaction of lead(II) fluoride and tungsten trioxide at 700 °C.[3]
- 2PbF2 + WO3 → WOF4 + 2PbO
Tungsten(VI) oxytetrafluoride hydrolyzes into tungstic acid.[1][9]
- WOF4 + 2 H2O → WO3 + 4 HF
