Platinum pentafluoride is the inorganic compound with the empirical formula PtF5. This red volatile solid has rarely been studied but is of interest as a binary fluoride of platinum, i.e. a compound containing only Pt and F. It is hydrolyzed in water.[1]
The compound was first prepared by Neil Bartlett by fluorination of platinum dichloride above 350 °C (below that temperature, only PtF4 forms).[1]
Its structure consists of a tetramer]], very similar to that of ruthenium pentafluoride. Within the tetramers, each Pt adopts octahedral molecular geometry, with two bridging fluoride ligands.[2]
