Polonium hexafluoride (PoF6) is a possible chemical compound of polonium and fluorine and one of the seventeen known binary hexafluorides. [1]
The synthesis of PoF6 via the reaction
was attempted in 1945, but the attempt was unsuccessful. The boiling point was predicted to be about −40 °C. [2]
208PoF6 was probably successfully synthesised via the same reaction in 1960 with the more stable isotope 208Po, [1] : 594 where a volatile polonium fluoride was produced, [3] but it was not fully characterized before it underwent radiolysis and decomposed to polonium tetrafluoride. [4] [5]
