Synthesis
Chemical properties
Nickel tetrafluoride is an extremely strong oxidizer. The oxidizing properties are enhanced in presence of Lewis acids in anhydrous HF. In terms of oxidizing power, it is comparable to krypton difluoride. It can oxidize bromine pentafluoride BrF5 to hexafluorobromonium(VII) cation [BrF6]+, potassium hexafluoroplatinate(V) K[PtF6] to platinum(VI) fluoride PtF6.[4]
