Chemical compound
Gold hexafluoride is a binary inorganic chemical compound of gold and fluorine with the chemical formula AuF6.[1] As of 2023, it is still a hypothetical compound that has never been prepared or observed.[2] [3] In 1999, Neil Bartlett stated, "It should exist, if made at low temperature and kept cold."[4]
Potential properties
[edit ]Like PtF6, AuF6 should be an extremely powerful oxidizer.[5] The compound is calculated to be stable.[6]
