Hydrogen Fluoride- Phosphorus Pentafluoride

Clifford and Kongpricha102 measured the thermodynamic solubility constant of PI fi in HF and concluded that in contrast with BF3, PF5 was a strong acid in HF. H0 measurements in sulfolane solution showed HPF6 to be a stronger acid than HC104

Grown Ethers. Ethylene oxide forms cyclic oligomers (crown ethers) in the presence of fluorinated Lewis acids such as boron trifluoride, phosphorus pentafluoride, or antimony pentafluoride. Hydrogen fluoride is the preferred catalyst (47). The presence of BF 4, PF y, or SbF 6 salts of alkali, alkaline earth, or transition metals directs the oligomerization to the cyclic tetramer, 1,4,7,10-tetraoxacyclododecane [294-93-9] (12-crown-4), pentamer, 1,4,7,10,13-pentaoxacyclopentadecane [33100-27-6] (15-crown-6), andhexamer, 1,4,7,10,13,16-hexaoxacyclooctadecane [17455-13-9]... 

Trimethylsilylamino tellurium pentafluoride lost the trimethylsilyl group in reactions with hydrogen fluorideS cesium fluoride, chlorine fluoride, sulfur fluorides, selenium tetrafluo-ride, phosphorus pentafluoride, tungsten hexachloride, molybdenum hexafluoride, and tungsten hexafluoride. ... 

CADMIO (Spanish) or CADMIUM (7440-43-9) Cd Air exposure, especially of powdered form, may cause chemical to self-ignite. Finely divided material reacts violently with strong oxidizers, fused ammonium nitrate, bromine pentafluoride, lithium, nitryl fluoride, phosphorus trichloride, potassium chlorate carbon dioxide + heat, hydrozoic acid (possible explosion), nitric oxide, tellurium. Contact with acid forms explosive hydrogen gas. Contact with hexafluorobenzene forms a heat-sensitive explosive compound. May react with selenium, elemental sulfur, zinc. On small fires, use dry chemical powder (such as Puiple-K-Powder), foam, Halon, or CO2 extinguishers. 

ANTIMONY PENTAFLUORIDE (7783-70-2) Contact with moisture, water, or steam forms hydrogen fluoride. Incompatible with reducing agents, combustible organic and siliceous materials, phosphorus and phosphate materials. Attacks metals in the presence of moisture with formation of hydrogen fluoride and explosive hydrogen gas. Severe corrosion of glass. 

The heavier phosphorus trihaUdes (PX3, X = Cl, Br, I) are prepared by direct halogenation. The trifluoride, on the other hand, is best synthesized by treating the trichloride with an ionic fluoride such as CaF2 or ZnF2- The arsenic, antimony, and bismuth trifluorides are prepared by adding hydrogen fluoride to the oxides. (If fluorine gas is used, the pentafluorides result.) The other trihalides of arsenic and antimony can be produced by direct halogenation of either the elements or the trioxides, while the bismuth trihalides are best produced by the action of aqueous hydrohalic acids on 61203.
