Molybdenum oxytetrafluoride
Chemical compound / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Molybdenum oxytetrafluoride is the inorganic compound with the formula MoOF4. It is a white, diamagnetic solid. According to X-ray crystallography, it is a coordination polymer consisting of a linear chain of alternating Mo and F atoms. Each Mo center is octahedral, the coordination sphere being defined by oxide, three terminal fluorides, and two bridging fluorides.[1] In contrast to this motif, tungsten oxytetrafluoride crystallizes as a tetramer, again with bridging fluoride ligands.[2]
