Plutonium oxyfluoride is an inorganic compound ofplutonium,oxygen, andfluorine with the chemical formulaPuOF.[1][2]
Plutonium oxyfluoride may be produced by the reduction ofplutonium(IV) fluoride with oxygen admixture:[3]
PuOF forms gray crystals of thecubic crystal system[4] withmetallic luster, cell parametersa = 0.571 nm,Z = 4, structure typeCaF2.
Plutonium oxyfluoride does not dissolve in water.
