Compound with 8 fluorine atoms

An octafluoride is a compound or ion with the formula [MmRnF8]q− or [MmRnF8]q+, where n, m and q are independent variables and R any substituent and M is a central element (often a metal). All of the examples listed below are [MF8]q− with q between 1 and 4 inclusive.

Neutral octafluorides

[edit]

No electrically neutral octafluorides are currently known to exist, although osmium octafluoride, OsF8, is theoretically possible. An early report of the synthesis of OsF8 was much later shown to be a mistaken identification of OsF6.[1]

Xenon octafluoride could probably never be synthesized.[2][3] This appears to be due to the steric hindrance of the fluorine atoms around the xenon atom. However, scientists continue to try to synthesize it.[4]

Anionic octafluorides

[edit]

In contrast, many anionic octafluorides are known, such as the octafluorozirconate(IV) ([ZrF8]4−), octafluorotantalate(V) ([TaF8]3−), octafluoroniobate(V) ([NbF8]3−),[1] octafluoromolybdate(VI) ([MoF8]2−),[1] octafluorotungstate(VI) ([WF8]2−),[1] octafluororhenate(VII) ([ReF8]−),[1] octafluoroiodate(VII) ([IF8]−), octafluoroiridate(VII) ([IrF8]−),[5] and octafluoroxenate(VI) ([XeF8]2−) anions.
