Americium hexafluoride

Americium hexafluoride is an inorganic chemical compound of americium metal and fluorine with the chemical formula AmF6.

[1][2] Synthesis by fluorination of americium tetrafluoride was unsuccessfully attempted in 1990.

[4] Calculations suggest that it may be distorted from octahedral symmetry.

[4] It is proposed that AmF6 can be prepared by in both the condensed and gaseous states by the reaction of KrF2 with AmF3 in anhydrous HF at 313–333 K.[5]
