Polonium hexafluoride (PoF6) is a possiblechemical compound ofpolonium andfluorine and one of the seventeen known binaryhexafluorides.[1]
The synthesis ofPoF6 via the reaction
was attempted in 1945, but the attempt was unsuccessful. The boiling point was predicted to be about −40 °C.[2]
208PoF6 was probably successfully synthesised via the same reaction in 1960 with the more stable isotope208Po,[1]: 594 where a volatile polonium fluoride was produced,[3] but it was not fully characterized before it underwentradiolysis and decomposed topolonium tetrafluoride.[4][5]
