Iron tetrafluoride is a binary inorganic compound with the chemical formula FeF4. [1] It was initially observed in 2003 via mass spectrometry and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. [2] Iron tetrafluoride is assumed to have tetrahedral or square planar structure. [2] It has been calculated to be stable in the gas phase. [3]

Iron tetrafluoride can be prepared by reaction of iron with fluorine in excess neon and argon at 4 K: [2] [4]

Fe + 2F2 → FeF4
