Iron tetrafluoride is a binary inorganic compound with a chemical formula of FeF4.
History
Iron tetrafluoride was initially observed in 2003 via mass spectrometry and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy.
Preparation
Iron tetrafluoride can be prepared by reaction of iron atoms with elemental F2 in excess neon and argon at 4 K:
- Fe + 2F2 → FeF4
Physical properties
Iron tetrafluoride is assumed to have tetrahedral or square planar structure. It has been calculated to be stable in the gas phase.
