Nickel tetrafluoride is an inorganic compound with a chemical formula NiF₄.^[1]^[2]

Synthesis

Nickel tetrafluoride is claimed to result from the reaction of (XeF₅)₂NiF₆ with AsF₅ and K₂NiF₆ with BF₃.^[3]

Chemical properties

Nickel tetrafluoride is an extremely strong oxidizer. The oxidizing properties are enhanced in presence of Lewis acids in anhydrous HF. In terms of oxidizing power, it is comparable to krypton difluoride. It can oxidize bromine pentafluoride to hexafluorobrome(VII) cation, potassium hexafluoroplatinate(V) to platinum(VI) fluoride.^[4]
