Chromium(IV) fluoride is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula CrF₄.

Synthesis

Powdered chromium or CrCl₃ is exposed to fluorine gas at a temperature of 350-500 °C, which creates a mix of CrF₄ and CrF₅. The CrF₄ settles out as varnish-like brown beads upon cooling.[2]

Reactions

Chromium(IV) fluoride will react with water:

CrF₄+2 H₂O->CrO₂+4 HF
