Arsenic trifluoride is a chemical compound of arsenic and fluorine with the formula AsF3. It is a colorless liquid which reacts readily with water.Greenwood&Earnshaw]

Preparation and properties

It can be prepared by reacting hydrogen fluoride,HF, with arsenic trioxide::6HF + As2O3 → 2AsF3 + 3H2O

It has a pyramidal molecular structure in the gas phase which is also present in the solid. In the gas phase the As-F bond length is 170.6 pm and the F-As-F bond angle 96.2°. [ Wells A.F. (1984) "Structural Inorganic Chemistry" 5th edition Oxford Science Publications ISBN 0-19-855370-6 ] Its enthalpy of formation is -305.0kJ/mol.
Arsenic trifluoride is used as fluorinating non-metal chlorides to fluorides, in this respect it is less reactive than SbF3.
