Praseodymium(IV) fluoride (also praseodymium tetrafluoride) is a binary inorganic compound, a highly oxidised metal salt of praseodymium and fluoride[1] with the chemical formula PrF4.
Synthesis
Praseodymium(IV) fluoride can be prepared by the effect of krypton difluoride on praseodymium(IV) oxide:[2]
Praseodymium(IV) fluoride can also be made by the dissolution of sodium hexafluoropraseodymate(IV) in liquid hydrogen fluoride:[3]
Properties
Praseodymium(IV) fluoride forms light yellow crystals. The crystal structure is anticubic and isomorphic to that of uranium tetrafluoride UF4. It decomposes when heated:
Due to the high normal potential of the tetravalent praseodymium cations (Pr3+ / Pr4+: +3.2 V), praseodymium(IV) fluoride decomposes in water, releasing oxygen, O2.
