The gaseous Mn 2 F 6 molecule has been identified for the first time in the vapor produced by MnF 3 vaporization and the MnF 3 (g) dimerization equilibrium studied by the Knudsen cell mass spectrometry technique in the 884–1015 K temperature range. The experimental vapor pressure data were treated by the second‐ and third‐law procedures, and the enthalpy of Mn 2 F 6 (g) dissociation has been determined as: $\font\mathbfit=cmmib10\def\bfit#1{\hbox{\mathbfit #1}} {\bf \Delta {\bfit H}_{0}^{o} [Mn_{2}F_{6}(g)] = 210.9 \pm 2.5 kJ/mol}$ . Thermodynamic functions of gaseous MnF 3 were calculated from geometrical and vibrational parameters taken from the literature. For gaseous Mn 2 F 6 , they were evaluated by comparison with molecular parameters of Co 2 F 6 (g). Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
