Arsenic trifluoride is a chemical compound of arsenic and fluorine with the chemical formula AsF3. It is a colorless liquid which reacts readily with water.[2]
Preparation and properties
It can be prepared by reacting hydrogen fluoride, HF, with arsenic trioxide:[2]
- 6HF + As2O3 → 2AsF3 + 3H2O
It has a pyramidal molecular structure in the gas phase which is also present in the solid.[2] In the gas phase the As-F bond length is 170.6 pm and the F-As-F bond angle 96.2°.[3]
Arsenic trifluoride is used as fluorinating non-metal chlorides to fluorides, in this respect it is less reactive than SbF3.[2]
Salts containing AsF4− anion can be prepared for example CsAsF4.[4] the potassium salt KAs2F7 prepared from KF and AsF3 contains AsF4− and AsF3 molecules with evidence of interaction between the AsF3 molecule and the anion.[5]
With SbF5 the ionic adduct AsF2+ SbF6− is produced [6]
