Production edit

Molybdenum(V) fluoride is produced by the reaction of molybdenum and molybdenum hexafluoride:[3]

Mo + 5 MoF6 → 6 MoF5

It can also be prepared by the reduction of molybdenum hexafluoride with phosphorus trifluoride or tungsten hexacarbonyl, or by the oxidation of elemental molybdenum with fluorine at 900 °C.[3]

About 165 °C, it disproportionates to the tetra- and hexafluoride:[1]

2 MoF5 → MoF4 + MoF6
