What is MOLYBDENUM HEXAFLUORIDE?
Chemical properties
liquid
Physical properties
White cubic crystals or colorless volatile liquid; hygroscopic; density 2.54 g/cm3; melts at 17.5°C; boils at 34°C; critical temperature 200°C; critical pressure 46.88 atm; critical volume 226 cm3/mol; reacts with water (hydrolyzed).
The Uses of MOLYBDENUM HEXAFLUORIDE
Separation of molybdenum isotopes.
The Uses of MOLYBDENUM HEXAFLUORIDE
Molybdenum(VI) fluoride plays an important role in the semiconductor industry and the nuclear industry.
Preparation
Molybdenum hexafluoride is prepared by passing fluorine over molybdenum powder:
Mo + 3F2 → MoF6.
Definition
ChEBI: Molybdenum hexafluoride is a molybdenum halide.
Hazard
Strong irritant.
Purification Methods
Purify the hexafluoride by low-temperature trap-to-trap distillation over pre-dried NaF. It is hygroscopic, fumes in moist air and is hydrolysed readily by H2O. [Oppengard et al.
