Tellurium tetrafluorideTellurium tetrafluoride, TeF4, is a stable, white, hygroscopic crystalline solid and is one of three fluorides of tellurium. The other two binary fluorides are tellurium hexafluoride and ditellurium decafluoride[citation needed]. There are other tellurium compounds that contain fluorine, but only the three mentioned contain solely tellurium and fluorine. Tellurium difluoride is not known. Additional recommended knowledge
PreparationTellurium tetrafluoride can be prepared by the following reaction: ReactivityTellurium tetrafluoride will react with water or silica and forms tellurium oxides. Copper, silver, gold or nickel will react with tellurium tetrafluoride at 185 °C. It does not react with platinum. It is soluble in SbF5 and will precipitate out the complex TeF4SbF5. PropertiesTellurium tetrafluoride melts at 130 °C and decomposes to tellurium hexafluoride at 194 °C. In the solid phase it consists of infinite chains of TeF3F2/2 in an octahedral geometry. A lone pair of electrons occupies the sixth position. References
