SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity

10.1 Reactivity

Decomposes on heating and on burning. This produces toxic and corrosive fumes including antimony and fluorine. Reacts violently with water. This produces toxic and corrosive hydrogen fluoride (see ICSC 0283). Attacks many metals. This produces a combustible/explosive gas (hydrogen - see ICSC 0001).

10.2 Chemical stability

no data available

10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactions

ANTIMONY PENTAFLUORIDE is strongly acidic. Reacts vigorously with bases. When heated to decomposition, it emits highly toxic fumes of fluorides and metallic antimony. Reacts with ammonia to form a diammoniate.

10.4 Conditions to avoid

no data available

10.5 Incompatible materials

Reacts violently with water. also forms a solid dihydrate, which reacts violently with more water to form a clear soln.

10.6 Hazardous decomposition products
