Graphical Abstract

Vanadium pentachloride and molybdenum and rhenium hexachloride are all thermally unstable but can be prepared by metathesis from the corresponding fluorides with BCl₃ at low temperatures. MoCl₆ is structurally related to β-WCl₆, and ReCl₆ to α-WCl₆. VCl₅ is a dimer in the solid state (see structure; V red, Cl green).
