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
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. The reaction of tungsten(VI) oxytetrachloride and hydrogen fluoride will also produce WOF 4. [3] WOCl 4 + 4HF → WOF 4 + 4HCl

Lithium hexafluorotungstate can be prepared by reacting lithium iodide and tungsten hexafluoride in liquid sulfur dioxide. [3] Physical properties
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]
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.
The fluorine–fluorine bond of the difluorine molecule is relatively weak when compared to the bonds of heavier dihalogen molecules. The bond energy is significantly weaker than those of Cl 2 or Br 2 molecules and similar to the easily cleaved oxygen–oxygen bonds of peroxides or nitrogen–nitrogen bonds of hydrazines. [8]
Tungsten hexacarbonyl (also called tungsten carbonyl) is an organometallic compound with the formula W(CO) 6. This complex gave rise to the first example of a dihydrogen complex. [2] Like its chromium and molybdenum analogs, this colorless compound is noteworthy as a volatile, air-stable derivative of tungsten in its zero oxidation state.
