Thorium trifluoride is a binary inorganic compound of thorium metal and fluorine with the chemical formula ThF3. [1] [2] [3] [4]

Synthesis

Thorium trifluoride is not formed in a reaction of thorium metal with thorium tetrafluoride: [5] [6] Molecules of ThF3 have been prepared by reacting atomic thorium with fluorine gas, and condensation onto a solid inert gas matrix. A solid phase is not known. [4]

2 Th + 3 F2 → 2 ThF3
