Uranium pentafluoride an inorganic chemical consisting of uranium and fluorine. The compound exists both as individual UF5 molecular entities and with extended order in several crystal-lattice forms. The monomer formed by photolysis of uranium hexafluoride has a square pyramidal geometry. The α form is a linear coordination polymer consisting of chains in which one of the five fluoride atoms forms a bridge to the next uranium atom.
