Its structure is similar to those for niobium pentafluoride and tantalum pentafluoride. In contrast, molybdenum oxytetrafluoride adopts a polymeric structure, although again the fluorides bridge and the oxides are terminal.
Molybdenum oxytetrafluoride's molecular framework is similar to that of niobium pentafluoride and tantalum pentafluoride. Notably, whereas these compounds feature bridging fluorides and terminal oxides, molybdenum oxytetrafluoride adopts a polymeric structure.
