Chromium(IV) fluoride is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula CrF₄. It has a dark greenish-black color when solid. It rapidly hydrolysizes in presence of moisture in air or directly in water.^[3]

Synthesis[edit]

Powdered chromiumorCrCl₃ 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[edit]

Chromium(IV) fluoride will react with water:

{\ce {CrF4 + 2H2O -> CrO2 + 4HF}}
