Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0022-1139(00)85159-3

Vanadium pentafluoride reacts via an oxygen exchange reaction with phosphorous oxytrifluoride to give VOF3 and PF5.The latter forms a weak 1:1 adduct.VF5 reacts with trifluoroacetic acid to form trifluoroacetyl fluoride and VOF3.Both reactions are indicative of the strength of the V=O bond and its influence on the course of the reactions of VF5 with oxygen containing materials.
