Vanadium(IV) fluoride (VF4) is an inorganic compound of vanadium and fluorine. It is paramagnetic yellow-brown solid that is very hygroscopic.[2] Unlike the corresponding vanadium tetrachloride, the tetrafluoride is not volatile because it adopts a polymeric structure. It decomposes before melting.
Preparation and reactions[]
VF4 can be prepared by treating VCl4 with HF:
- VCl4 + 4 HF → VF4 + 4 HCl
It was first prepared in this way.[5]
It decomposes at 325 °C, undergoing disproportionation to the tri- and pentafluorides:[2]
- 2 VF4 → VF3 + VF5
Structure[]
The structure of VF4 is related to that of SnF4. Each vanadium centre is octahedral, surrounded by six fluoride ligands. Four of the fluoride centers bridge to adjacent vanadium centres.[6]
