Chemical Properties

iodine pentafluoride (IF5) is a colorless to pale yellow fuming liquid with a pungent odor. The highly reactive IF5 (melting point 9.4 °C) is distillable at 100.5 °C without any decomposition. Decomposition commences at temperatures above 400 °C. IF5 is not as popular as p-TolIF2 because F2 gas is used in its preparation and it decomposes in air by moisture emitting corrosive HF.Iodine pentafluoride has good thermal stability and is the most stable halogen compound. The reactivity of IF5 is much weaker than that of other halogen compounds, and it does not interact with silicon, magnesium, copper, iron, and chromium at room temperature, and only interacts with molybdenum, tungsten, phosphorus, arsenic, antimony, boron, etc. The corresponding fluorides are generated, such as:2 IF5 + 2 Sb → 2 SbF5 + I26 IF5 + 10 B → 10 BF3 + 15 I2It is the least reactive of the halogen fluorides and classified as a soft fluorinating reagent. It is used as a mildest, selective fluorinating reagent in the fluorination of organic molecules.

Physical properties

HCl butdecomposes in water or dilute HCl.

Uses

Iodine pentafluoride is a fluorinating agent and strong oxidant, which plays an important role in organic synthesis. It can be used to prepare pentafluoroiodoethane:5 CF2=CF2 + IF5 + 2 I2 → 5 C2F5IIn addition, iodine pentafluoride can also react with isothiocyanato to generate fluorinated hydrocarbon derivatives, and to synthesize other fluorine-containing compounds.Iodine pentafluoride (IF5) is rarely used to fluoride common organic compounds due to the difficulty in controlling their reactivity.

Preparation

Iodine pentafluoride(IF5) is produced by the action of elemental fluorine on iodine which has a low melting point. The reaction is performed either in solvent or heating iodine to maintain its liquid state. In a commercial preparation about one percent iodine is dissolved in IF5 and brought into fluorination chamber where iodine reacts with fluorine and produces more IF5 which is returned to the receiving vessel. Only a small portion of IF5 is withdrawn from the receiving vessel as product, while the major portion of IF5 is used for dissolving more iodine. This process goes on and on until all iodine is converted into IF5.In another industrial process, iodine is heated above its melting point (113℃) and reacted with elemental fluorine under three atmosphere of pressure. A precaution is taken not to heat iodine above 150℃ to avoid the formation of another product, IF7. Fluorine is added continuously until all iodine has reacted and converted to IF5.

General Description

Iodine pentafluoride appears as a toxic colorless fuming liquid (m.p. 9° C). Decomposed by water to iodine and hydrofluoric acid. Contact with organic materials may cause their ignition. Corrosive to metals and tissue. Prolonged exposure of the container to fire or heat may result in their violent rupturing and rocketing. Prolonged exposure to low concentrations or short term exposure to high concentrations may result in adverse health effects.

Air & Water Reactions

Fumes in air. Reaction with water or water-containing materials is violent, [Mellor 2, Supp. 1:176, 1956].

Reactivity Profile

A powerful oxidizer. Attack glass. Reacts violently with water or strong bases (potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide). Pentalfluoroiodide chars and usually ignites organic matter. Contact with boron, silicon, red phosphorus, sulfur, arsenic, antimony, bismuth, molybdenum and tungsten causes incandescence. Contact with potassium or sodium leads to explosions. Causes aluminum (foil, powder) to ignite. Explosive reactions with tetraiodoethylene, diethylaminotrimethylsilane. Violent reactions wilh benzene, dimethyl sulfoxide, tetraiodoethylene [Bretherick, 5th ed., 1995, p. 1434]. IF5 reacts explosively with diethylaminotrimethylsilane even at low temperature. (Oates, G. et al., J. Chem. Soc., Dalton Trans., 1974, 1383).

Health Hazard

Toxic by ingestion and inhalation, corrosive to skin and mucous membranes. Iodinepentafluoride is highly corrosive. Contactwith the skin can cause severe burns. Thevapors are highly irritating to the skin, eyes,and mucous membranes.

Fire Hazard

Dangerous fire risk, May ignite combustibles (wood, paper, oil, clothing, etc.). React vigorously and/or explosively with water. Produce toxic and/or corrosive substances on contact with water. Flammable/toxic gases may accumulate in tanks and hopper cars. Some may produce flammable hydrogen gas upon contact with metals. Containers may explode when heated. Runoff may create fire or explosion hazard.

Flammability and Explosibility

Nonflammable

Purification Methods

The iodine pentafluoride was purified by trap-to-trap distillation over preheated sodium fluoride in order to remove hydrogen fluoride. The iodine pentafluoride was then transferred by vacuum distillation to a vessel containing a dry mercury metal. The mixture was shaken mechanically for 5 minutes at room temperature to remove iodine. Once the mercury metal treatement was finished, iodine pentafluoride was stored over sodium fluoride in a sealed Pyrex glass vessel cooled to -196 °C . The purified iodine pentafluoride was colourless.

Check Digit Verification of cas no

[(C6F5)2if2][BF4], the first salt with the electrophilic cation [(C6F5) 2if2]+: Synthesis, reactivity, and structure

Frohn, Hermann-Josef,Wenda, Andre,Floerke, Ulrich

, p. 764 - 770 (2009/04/13)

The substitution of hypervalently bonded fluorine atoms in C 6F5IF4 was performed with C6F 5BF2 and resulted in the new salt [(C6F 5)2IF2][BF4]. The iodonium(V) salt was characterized by multi-NMR and Raman spectroscopy and X-ray crystal structure analysis. The fluorinating ability of the new electrophilic cation [(C6F5)2IF2]+ was exemplified in reactions with monovalent iodine compounds (C6F 5I, p-FC6H4I, and I2) and with electron-poor tri(organyl)pnictanes ER3 (E = P, As, Sb, Bi; R = C6F5). In a heterogeneous reaction with CsF in MeCN the [(C6F5)2IF2]+ cation forms the dinuclear [{(C6F5)2IF 2}2F]+ cation.

Fluorine-oxygen exchange reactions in IF5, IF7, and IF5O

Christe, Karl O.,Wilson, William W.,Wilson, Richard D.

, p. 904 - 908 (2008/10/08)

When reacted with alkali-metal nitrates, IF5 readily exchanges two fluorine ligands for a doubly bonded oxygen atom. In all cases MIF4O salts (M = Li, K, Cs) and FNO2 are formed as the primary products. The FNO2 byproduct undergoes a fast secondary reaction with MNO3 to yield equimolar amounts of N2O5 and MF. The N2O5 decomposes to N2O4 and 0.5 mol of O2, while the MF, depending on the nature of M, does or does not undergo complexation with the excess of IF5. Pure MIF4O salts, free of MF or MF·nIF5 byproducts, were prepared from MF, I2O5, and IF5 in either CH3CN or IF5 as a solvent. The new compounds LiIF4O, NaIF4O, RbIF4O, and NOIF4O were characterized by vibrational spectroscopy. It was also shown that, contrary to a previous report, FNO2 does not form a stable adduct with IF5 at temperatures as low as -78°C. An excess of IF7 reacts with MNO3 (M = Li, Na) to give MF, FNO2, IF5, and 0.5 mol of O2, but surprisingly no IF5O. With CsNO3, the reaction products are analogous, except for the CsF reacting with both the IF5 product and the excess of IF7 to give CsIF6·2IF5 and CsIF8, respectively. When in the IF7 reaction an excess of LiNO3, is used, the IF5 product undergoes further reaction with LiNO3, as described above. The IF5O molecule was found to be rather unreactive. It does not react with either LiF or CsF at 25 or 60°C or with LiNO3 or CsNO3 at 25°C. At 60°C with LiNO3, it slowly loses oxygen, with the IF5 product reacting to yield LiIF4O, as described above.
