Technetium pentafluoride is a binary inorganic chemical compound of technetium metal and fluorine with the chemical formula TcF
5.[1][2][3][4]
Synthesis
[edit]The compound can be synthesised by heating of technetium powder in a jet of fluorine diluted with nitrogen:
- 2Tc + 5F2 → 2TcF5
Another way to prepare it is the effect of iodine on technetium hexafluoride solution in iodine pentafluoride:[5]
- 2TcF6 + I2 → 2TcF5 + 2IF
Physical properties
[edit]Technetium pentafluoride forms yellow crystals[6] of orthorhombic crystal system.[7] It reacts with water, and is volatile.
Chemical properties
[edit]The compound is hydrolyzed by water, disproportionating to more stable technetium compounds:
- 3TcF5 + 8H2O → HTcO4 + 2TcO2 + 15HF

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
