Chlorine pentafluoride is an interhalogen compound with formula ClF 5.This colourless gas is a strong oxidant that was once a candidate oxidizer for rockets. The molecule adopts a square pyramidal structure with C 4v symmetry, [1] as confirmed by its high-resolution 19 F NMR spectrum. [2]
ClF ClF 3 ClF 5; Systematic name: Chlorine monofluoride: Chlorine trifluoride: Chlorine pentafluoride: Molar mass: 54.45 g/mol 92.45 g/mol 130.45 g/mol CAS number
The molecular structure in the gas phase was determined by microwave spectroscopy; the bond length is r e = 1.628341(4) Å. [2]The bond length in the crystalline ClF is 1.628(1) Å; the lengthening relative to the free molecule is due to an interaction of the type F-Br···ClMe with a distance of 2.640(1) Å.
Some molecular compounds that adopt square pyramidal geometry are XeOF 4, [2] and various halogen pentafluorides (XF 5, where X = Cl, Br, I). [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Complexes of vanadium (IV), such as vanadyl acetylacetonate , [VO(acac) 2 ], are square pyramidal (acac = acetylacetonate, the deprotonated anion of acetylacetone (2,4-pentanedione)).
Chlorine trifluoride is an interhalogen compound with the formula ClF 3.It is a colorless, poisonous, corrosive, and extremely reactive gas that condenses to a pale-greenish yellow liquid, the form in which it is most often sold (pressurized at room temperature).
When comparing a polar and nonpolar molecule with similar molar masses, the polar molecule in general has a higher boiling point, because the dipole–dipole interaction between polar molecules results in stronger intermolecular attractions. One common form of polar interaction is the hydrogen bond, which is also known as the H-bond.
The T-shaped geometry is related to the trigonal bipyramidal molecular geometry for AX 5 molecules with three equatorial and two axial ligands. In an AX 3 E 2 molecule, the two lone pairs occupy two equatorial positions, and the three ligand atoms occupy the two axial positions as well as one equatorial position. The three atoms bond at 90 ...
Hydrophobic molecules tend to be nonpolar and, thus, prefer other neutral molecules and nonpolar solvents. Because water molecules are polar, hydrophobes do not dissolve well among them. Hydrophobic molecules in water often cluster together, forming micelles. Water on hydrophobic surfaces will exhibit a high contact angle.
