Nickel tetrafluoride is a binary inorganic compound of nickel and fluorine with a chemical formula of NiF4.[1][2]
Synthesis
Nickel tetrafluoride can be obtained from the reaction of (XeF5)2NiF6 with AsF5 and K2NiF6 with BF3.[3][4]
Physical properties
Nickel tetrafluoride forms a tan-colored solid. It is unstable to F2 loss above –65°C to create NiF3.[3]
Chemical properties
Nickel tetrafluoride is an extremely strong oxidizer. The oxidizing properties are enhanced in presence of
platinum(VI) fluoride.[5]
The compound is used in inorganic synthesis as a substitute for unstable krypton difluoride, since it is quite easily synthesized from available and stable potassium hexafluoronickelate(IV).
