Nickel tetrafluoride is aninorganic compound with achemical formulaNiF4.[1][2]
Nickel tetrafluoride is claimed to result from the reaction of[XeF5]2[NiF6] (pentafluoroxenonium(IV) hexafluoronickelate(IV)) withAsF5 andK2[NiF6] withBF3.[3]
Nickel tetrafluoride is an extremely strong oxidizer. The oxidizing properties are enhanced in presence ofLewis acids in anhydrous HF. In terms of oxidizing power, it is comparable tokrypton difluoride. It can oxidizebromine pentafluorideBrF5 to hexafluorobromonium(VII) cation[BrF6]+, potassium hexafluoroplatinate(V)K[PtF6] toplatinum(VI) fluoridePtF6.[4]
