A new synthesis and i.r. characterisation of chromium hexafluoride
Abstract
A convenient synthesis of CrF6 from CrO3 and F2(170 °C/25 atm/72 h) is described; it is characterized by matrix-isolation i.r. spectroscopy, and using this technique there is wvidence that molecular CrF6 undergoes thermal decomposition to CrF4 at low pressures.
