Nickel tetrafluoride is aninorganic compound with achemical formulaNiF4.[1][2]
Nickel tetrafluoride is claimed to result from the reaction of(XeF5)2NiF6 withAsF5 andK2NiF6 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 pentafluoride to hexafluorobrome(VII) cation, potassium hexafluoroplatinate(V) toplatinum(VI) fluoride.[4]
