Molybdenum difluoride dioxide is the inorganic compound with the formula MoF2O2. It is a white, diamagnetic, volatile solid.[1]
Structure
[edit]
Structure of solid MoF2O2. X positions are occupied by O or F.
Gaseous molybdenum difluoride dioxide is a tetrahedral molecule.[2] According to X-ray crystallography, the solid is a coordination polymer consisting of trigonal primatic chains of made by linking Mo3F6O6 monomers. The fluoride and oxide positions are disordered.[3] A similar motif is adopted by titanium tetrafluoride.
Synthesis and reactions
[edit]The compound can be obtained by thermal decomposition of the dioxotetrafluoride, which in turn is obtained from sodium molybdate:[3]
- Na2MoO4 + 4 HF → Na2MoF4O2 + 2 H2O
Heating sodium dioxotetrafluoride to 400 °C gives monomeric difluoride dioxide, which polymerizes upon condensation:
- Na2MoF4O2 → 2 NaF + MoF2O2
The compound also arises by hydrolysis of molybdenum oxytetrafluoride:
- MoF4O + H2O → 2 HF + MoF2O2
The compound dissolves in dimethylformamide to give a bis(adduct):[4]
- MoF2O2 + 2 OC(H)N(CH3)2 → MoF2O2(OC(H)N(CH3)2)2
