Tungsten hexafluoride was first obtained by conversion of tungsten hexachloride with hydrogen fluoride by Otto Ruff and Fritz Eisner in 1905. [11] [12] WCl 6 + 6 HF → WF 6 + 6 HCl. The compound is now commonly produced by the exothermic reaction of fluorine gas with tungsten powder at a temperature between 350 and 400 °C: [7] W + 3 F 2 → WF 6
Tungsten(VI) oxytetrafluoride can be synthesized by the reaction of fluorine and tungsten trioxide. [4] It can also be obtained by treating tungsten with a mixture of oxygen and fluorine at high temperatures. [1] Partial hydrolysis of tungsten hexafluoride will also produce WOF 4. [9] WF 6 + H 2 O → WOF 4 + 2 HF

Hexafluoride-forming elements Octahedral structure of SF 6. Seventeen elements are known to form binary hexafluorides. [2] Nine of these elements are transition metals, three are actinides, four are chalcogens, and one is a noble gas.
These compounds form by oxidation of alkali metals with larger ionic radii (K, Rb, Cs). For example, potassium superoxide (KO 2) is an orange-yellow solid formed when potassium reacts with oxygen. Hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) can be produced by passing a volume of 96% to 98% hydrogen and 2 to 4% oxygen through an electric discharge. [7]
Unlike other hydrohalic acids, such as hydrochloric acid, hydrogen fluoride is only a weak acid in water solution, with acid dissociation constant (pK a) equal to 3.19. [36] HF's weakness as an aqueous acid is paradoxical considering how polar the HF bond is, much more so than the bond in HCl, HBr, or HI. The explanation for the behavior is ...
Hydrogen fluoride is typically produced by the reaction between sulfuric acid and pure grades of the mineral fluorite: [14] CaF 2 + H 2 SO 4 → 2 HF + CaSO 4. About 20% of manufactured HF is a byproduct of fertilizer production, which generates hexafluorosilicic acid. This acid can be degraded to release HF thermally and by hydrolysis: H 2 SiF ...
Tungsten tetrafluoride is an inorganic compound with the formula WF 4. This little studied solid has been invoked, together with tungsten pentafluoride , as an intermediate in the chemical vapor deposition of tungsten films using tungsten hexafluoride .
