| | Bismuth pentafluoride Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | long, white needles; body-centered tetr crystal(s); very sensitive to moisture; discolors quickly in moist air; can be formed by fluorinating BiF3 or Bi metal at 120°C; used as a fluorinating agent [KIR78] [MER06] | | Physical properties | White crystals, highly sensitive to moisture. In humid air immediately turns yellow-brown. Reacts with water, sometimes
with ignition, forming ozone and BiF3. Reacts with kerosene above
50°C. Subl. t. appr. 550°C. | | Uses | Fluorinating agent. | | Definition | ChEBI: Bismuth pentafluoride is a pnictogen halide and a bismuth coordination entity. It derives from a hydride of a bismuthorane. |
