'''Tellurium hexafluoride''' is the oldest known ] of ]. It is a colorless, highly toxic gas with an extremely unpleasant smell. '''Tellurium hexafluoride''' is the ] of ] and ] with the chemical formula TeF<sub>6</sub>. It is a colorless, highly toxic gas with an unpleasant odor.<ref name=Brauer>{{cite book|author=W. Kwasnik|chapter=Tellurium Hexafluoride|title=Handbook of Preparative Inorganic Chemistry, 2nd Ed. |editor=G. Brauer|publisher=Academic Press|year=1963|place=NY, NY|volume=1|pages=180}}</ref>


==Preparation== == Preparation ==
Tellurium hexafluoride is most commonly prepared by passing ] gas over tellurium metal at 150 °C. Below this temperature a mixture of lower fluorides form, including ] and ]. It can also be prepared by passing fluorine gas over TeO<sub>3</sub> or indirectly by reacting TeO<sub>2</sub> with SeF<sub>4</sub> to produce TeF<sub>4</sub> and then heating TeF<sub>4</sub> in excess of 200 °C to make TeF<sub>6</sub> and Te. Tellurium hexafluoride can be prepared by treating tellurium with ] gas at 150 °C.<ref name="Brauer" /><ref>{{cite book |doi=10.1002/9780470132326.ch44|chapter=Sulfur, Selenium, and Tellurium Hexafluorides|year=2007|last1=Yost|first1=Don M.|title=Inorganic Syntheses|orig-year=1939|pages=121–122|volume=1|isbn=978-0-470-13232-6}}</ref> It can also be prepared by fluorination of ] with ]. Upon heating, ] disproportionates to give TeF<sub>6</sub> and Te.{{cn|date=March 2021}}


==Properties== == Properties ==
Tellurium hexafluoride is a highly symmetric octahedral molecule. Its physical properties resemble the ] and ] analogs. It is less ], however, due to the increase in ]. At temperatures below −38 °C, tellurium hexafluoride condenses to a volatile white solid. Tellurium hexafluoride is a highly symmetric octahedral molecule. Its physical properties resemble those of the hexafluorides of ] and ]. It is less ], however, due to the increase in ].

== Reactivity ==
Tellurium hexafluoride is much more chemically ] than SF<sub>6</sub>.<ref>{{Greenwood&Earnshaw2nd}}</ref> For example, TeF<sub>6</sub> slowly hydrolyzes to ]:
:TeF<sub>6</sub> + 6 H<sub>2</sub>O → Te(OH)<sub>6</sub> + 6 HF
Treatment of tellurium hexafluoride with ] (Me<sub>4</sub>NF) gives, sequentially, the hepta- and octafluorides:
:TeF<sub>6</sub> + Me<sub>4</sub>NF → Me<sub>4</sub>NTeF<sub>7</sub>
:Me<sub>4</sub>NTeF<sub>7</sub> + Me<sub>4</sub>NF → (Me<sub>4</sub>N)<sub>2</sub>TeF<sub>8</sub>

Unlike the ] analog, tellurium hexafluoride is not chemically ]. This can be attributed to the greater availability of the ''d'' orbitals and perhaps the availability of the ''f'' orbitals which neither sulfur or selenium have access to. TeF<sub>6</sub> is hydrolyzed in water to H<sub>6</sub>TeO<sub>6</sub> and reacts with Te below 200 °C.

==Health Hazards== == References ==
People exposed to ] compounds exhibit "tellurium ]", which has a ]-like ]. This garlic odour is also present in ] and ]. Other symptoms of tellurium exposure include ], ], weakness, bluish-black markings on ]s, ], ] and ], ] taste in the mouth and skin rash. Death may occur from ]. People exposed to tellurium compounds should be removed from the area and seek medical attention.
