Technetium pentafluoride is a binary inorganic chemical compound of technetium metal and fluorine with the chemical formula TcF
5. [1] [2] [3] [4]
The compound can be synthesised by heating of technetium powder in a jet of fluorine diluted with nitrogen:
Another way to prepare it is the effect of iodine on technetium hexafluoride solution in iodine pentafluoride: [5]
Technetium pentafluoride forms yellow crystals [6] of the orthorhombic crystal system. [7] It reacts with water, and is volatile.
The compound is hydrolyzed by water, disproportionating to more stable technetium compounds:
