Abstract
Bismuth pentafluoride was prepared by synthesis from bismuth and fluorine at 500 deg C. Its crystal structure, density of the solid and liquid, triple point temperature, and vapor pressure were determined and the latent heat of vaporization and Trouton constant were calculated. Various chemical reactions of bismuth pentifluoride, such as its reduction with hydrogen and fluorination reactions with various elements and compounds, were studied. Bismuth pentafluoride acts as a strong fluorinating agent. (auth)
