Description

long, white needles; body-centered tetr crystal(s); very sensitive to moisture; discolors quickly in moist air; can be formed by fluorinating BiF3 or Bi metal at 120°C; used as a fluorinating agent [KIR78] [MER06]


Bismuth pentafluoride is a pnictogen halide and a bismuth coordination entity. It derives from a hydride of a bismuthorane.
