Production
Europium(III) fluoride can be produced by reacting europium(III) nitrate and ammonium fluoride:[1]
- Eu(NO3)3 + 3 NH4F → EuF3 + 3 NH4NO3
Europium(III) fluoride nanoparticles can be synthesized by microwave irradiation of europium(III) acetate in an ionic liquid that has tetrafluoroborate as the anion.[2]
