Neptunium(IV) fluoride or neptunium tetrafluoride is a inorganic compound with the formula NpF₄. It is a green salt and is isostructural with UF₄.^[3]

Synthesis

Neptunium(IV) fluoride can be prepared by reacting neptunium(III) fluoride or neptunium dioxide with a gas mixture of oxygen and hydrogen fluoride at 500 °C:^[1]

\mathrm {4\ NpF_{3}\ +\ O_{2}\ +\ 4\ HF\ \longrightarrow \ 4\ NpF_{4}\ +\ 2\ H_{2}O}

It can also be prepared by treating neptunium dioxide with HF gas:^[1]

\mathrm {NpO_{2}\ +\ 4\ HF\ \longrightarrow \ NpF_{4}\ +\ 2\ H_{2}O}
