Ammonium hexafluorovanadate is an inorganic chemical compound with the chemical formula (NH₄)₃VF₆.^[1]^[2]^[3]

Synthesis

The compound can be prepared by a fusion of ammonium hydrogen fluoride and vanadium trioxide.^[4]

Also, a reaction of vanadium trioxide and ammonium bifluoride can produce the compound.^[5]

Ammonium hexafluorovanadate forms powder. It is toxic.^[6]

The compound decomposes to vanadium pentoxide if heated in open air:^[7]

4(NH₄)₃VF₆ + 11O₂ → 2V₂O₅ + 6N₂ + 12H₂O + 24HF

Ammonium hexafluorovanadate is typically used as a catalyst at temperatures below 400 °C.
