Vanadium(IV) fluoride (VF4) is an inorganic compound of vanadium and fluorine. It is paramagnetic yellow-brown solid that is very hygroscopic.[2] Unlike the corresponding vanadium tetrachloride, the tetrafluoride is not volatile because it adopts a polymeric structure.[5] It decomposes before melting.
VF4 can be prepared by treating VCl4 with HF:
It was first prepared in this way.[6]
It decomposes at 325 °C, undergoing disproportionation to the tri- and pentafluorides:[2]
The structure of VF4 is related to that of SnF4. Each vanadium centre is octahedral, surrounded by six fluoride ligands. Four of the fluoride centers bridge to adjacent vanadium centres.[7]
