The nine transition metal hexafluorides present a unique series of closely related compounds. Deviations from octahedral structures are influenced by Jahn-Teller effects and spin orbit coupling. The most pronounced chemical behaviour is the increasing electron affinity in the direction WF(6)--> PtF(6) and MoF(6)--> RuF(6), so that with PtF(6) and RuF(6) values of 7 eV or higher are reached. All hexafluorides can be used as one electron oxidants, starting with mild (WF(6)) up to extreme (PtF(6), RuF(6)) oxidation power.
