Vanadium(II) fluoride is afluoride ofvanadium, with the chemical formula of VF2. It forms blue crystals.
Vanadium(II) fluoride crystallizes in thetetragonal crystal system withspace groupP42/mnm (No. 136). Its lattice constants are a = 480.4 pm and c = 323.7 pm.[1]
Vanadium(II) fluoride can be produced by the reduction of vanadium trifluoride by hydrogen in a hydrogen fluoride atmosphere at 1150 °C:[3]
Vanadium(II) fluoride is a strongreducing agent that can reducenitrogen tohydrazine in the presence ofmagnesium hydroxide.[2]
It dissolves in water to form [V(H2O)6]2+ ions.[2]
