Fluorine compounds phosphorus pentafluoride

Nonmetals, such as sulfur, phosphorus and carbon (amorphous) inflame in fluorine forming their corresponding fluoro compounds, such as sulfur hexafluoride (SFe), phosphorus pentafluoride (PF5), and carbon tetrafluoride (CF4). 

The ability of fluoro-2 -phosphanes to transform silyl ethers into fluorides was first observed during a study of the reactions of phosphorus pentafluoride and its derivatives R PF5 (n = 1, 2, 3 R = hydrocarbon group) with trimethylsilyl ethers. Subsequently, this reaction was proposed as a new method for the preparation of C-F compounds from silyl ethers or silicic acid esters with fluoro-A -phosphanes. Pentafluorophenyl-substituted fluoro-A -phos-phanes were found to react similarily, Other workers found that tctrafluoro(phenyl)-A -phos-phane. which was chosen as the most convenient reagent with regard to reactivity and stability, gave considerable amounts of elimination products, especially with primary and cyclic alcohols. Good yields of fluorinated products are obtained when stable carbocations can be formed at the site of substitution, such as in tertiary alcohols, but 2-phcnylethanol. benzyl alcohol and diphcnylmethanol, on the other hand, give only poor yields of fluorinated products ethers and polymers are the main products. ... 

Moissan reasoned that if he were trying to liberate chlorine he would not choose a stable solid like sodium chloride, but a volatile compound like hydrochloric acid or phosphorus pentachloride. His preliminary experiments with silicon fluoride convinced him that this was a very stable compound, and that, if he should ever succeed in isolating fluorine, it would unite with silicon with incandescence, and that therefore he might use silicon in testing for the new halogen. After many unsuccessful attempts to electrolyze phosphorus trifluoride and arsenic trifluoride, and after four interruptions caused by serious poisoning, he finally obtained powdered arsenic at the cathode and some gas bubbles at the anode. However, before these fluorine bubbles could reach the surface, they were absorbed by the arsenic trifluoride to form pentafluoride (18, 23). 

These compounds may be prepared directly from the elements, although this route is not always the most suitable. The reactivity of fluorine is such that the pentafluoride is formed as a secondary product with phosphorus and arsenic and also to a smaller extent with antimony. Bismuth becomes coated during fluorination with a solid layer of fluoride which hinders further reaction.
