Ammonium hexafluorogallate is an inorganicchemical compound with the chemical formula(NH4)3GaF6.[1][2]
A mechanochemical reaction betweenammonium fluoride and gallium fluoride trihydrate (GaF3·3H2O) at a ratio of 3:1 produces the compound.[3]
Also, a reaction ofgallium(III) hydroxide, HF, andammonium fluoride.[4]
Ammonium hexafluorogallate occurs in two polymorphic forms:tetragonal at low temperature and cubic at high temperature, with both transforming reversibly.[6]
It has colorless crystals, which are soluble in water.[7]
