Abstract
The molecular structure of molybdenum tetrafluoride oxide was determined to be square-pyramidal by a sector-microphotometer method of gas electron diffraction. The following molecular parameters were obtained by a least-squares method: rg(Mo–F)=1.836±0.003 A, rg(Mo–O)=1.650±0.007 A, and rg(F···F(s))=2.522±0.005 A. The molecular structure is similar to those of WCl4O and MoCl4O, but significantly different from those of XeF4O and IF5. The molecular intensities calculated using the TFD or RHFS phase angle for molybdenum atom were in disagreement with the observed ones.
