'''Niobium(V) fluoride''', also known as '''niobium pentafluoride''', is a colorless crystalline solid often used as a starting material in ] chemistry. '''Niobium(V) fluoride''', also known as '''niobium pentafluoride''', is the ] with the formula NbF<sub>5</sub>. It is a colorless solid.<ref name=Ullmann>{{cite encyclopedia|author1=Joachim Eckert |author2=Hermann C. Starck|title=Niobium and Niobium Compounds|encyclopedia=Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry|year=2005|publisher=Wiley-VCH|place=Weinheim|doi=10.1002/14356007.a17_251|isbn=3527306730}}</ref>


==Preparation== ==Preparation and structure==
Niobium pentafluoride is obtained by treatment of any niobium compound with fluorine:<ref>{{cite book|chapter=Anhydrous Metal Fluorides|author=Homer F. Priest|title=Inorganic Syntheses |year=1950|volume=3|page=171|doi=10.1002/9780470132340.ch47}}</ref>
Niobium pentafluoride is obtained as an intermediate during the recovery of ] metal from its ores. It also can be prepared by direct fluorination of niobium metal at 250 to 300°C, either by ] gas or anhydrous ]. The pentafluoride vapors are condensed in a ] or ] tube from which it is sublimed at 120°C under vacuum and collected as colorless crystals.

:2 NbCl<sub>5</sub> + 5 F<sub>2</sub> → 2 NbF<sub>5</sub> + 5 Cl<sub>2</sub>


As shown by ], the solid consists of tetramers <sub>4</sub>. This structure is related to that for WOF<sub>4</sub>.<ref>{{cite journal |doi=10.1039/jr9640003714 |title=717. The structures of niobium and tantalum pentafluorides |year=1964 |last1=Edwards |first1=A. J. |journal=Journal of the Chemical Society (Resumed) |page=3714 }}</ref>
Also, niobium pentafluroide can be prepared by the reaction of fluorine with ]:

:2NbCl<sub>5</sub> + 5F<sub>2</sub> → 2NbF<sub>5</sub> + 5Cl<sub>2</sub>
==Reactions==
It reacts with ] to give H<sub>2</sub>NbF<sub>7</sub>, a ]. In ], NbF<sub>5</sub> converts to <sup>2-</sup> and <sup>2-</sup>. The relative solubility of {{chem2|K2}} (M = Nb, Ta) is the basis of the ] for separation of Nb and Ta.

] forms a dimeric structure (edge-shared bioctahedron) in contrast to the corner-shared tetrameric structure of the fluoride.
