Osmium(IV) fluoride is an inorganic chemical compound of krypton and fluorine with the chemical formula KrF4.[1]
Synthesis
Passing electric discharge through krypton-fluorine mixture:[2]
- Kr + 2F2 → KrF4
Physiscal properties
The compound forms white crystalline solid.[3] Thermally, it is less stable than XeF4.[4]
Chemical properties
Chemically active.
On hydrolysis the compound yields krypton, oxygen, and hydrogen fluoride.
At 60 °C krypton tetrafluoride decomposes:[4]
- KrF4 → Kr + 2F2
