Ruthenium pentafluoride is theinorganic compound with theempirical formula RuF5. This green volatile solid has rarely been studied but is of interest as a binary fluoride ofruthenium, i.e. a compound containing only Ru and F. It is sensitive toward hydrolysis. Its structure consists of Ru4F20tetramers, as seen in the isostructuralplatinum pentafluoride. Within the tetramers, each Ru adoptsoctahedral molecular geometry, with two bridgingfluorideligands.[1]
Ruthenium pentafluoride reacts withiodine to giveruthenium(III) fluoride.[2][3]
