Iron tetrafluoride is a binary inorganic compound with a chemical formula of FeF4.[1]

History

Iron tetrafluoride was initially observed in 2003 via mass spectrometry and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy.[2]

Preparation

Iron tetrafluoride can be prepared by reaction of iron atoms with elemental F2 in excess neon and argon at 4 K:[2][3]

Fe + 2F2 → FeF4

Physical properties

Iron tetrafluoride is assumed to have tetrahedral or square planar structure.[2] It has been calculated to be stable in the gas phase.[4]
