Chemical compound
Rhodium hexafluoride , alsorhodium(VI) fluoride , (RhF6 ) is theinorganic compound ofrhodium andfluorine . A black volatile solid,[ 1] hexafluorides .
Rhodium hexafluoride was discovered by American radiochemists in 1961, soon after the discovery ofruthenium hexafluoride .[ 3] fluorine :[ 4]
Rh + 3 F2 → RhF6 The RhF6 molecule hasoctahedral molecular geometry . Consistent with its d3 configuration, the six Rh–Fbond lengths are equivalent, being 1.824 Å.[ 2] orthorhombic space groupPnma withlattice parameters ofa = 9.323 Å ,b = 8.474 Å, andc = 4.910 Å.
Like some other metal fluorides, RhF6 is highly oxidizing. It attacks glass,[ 4] oxygen .[ 5]
