Thorium oxyfluoride is an inorganic compound of thorium metal, fluorine, and oxygen with the chemical formula ThOF
2.[1][2][3]
- Thorium oxyfluoride can be prepared from partial hydrolysis of thorium tetrafluoride in moist air at elevated temperatures, about 1000 °C.[4][5]
- ThF4 + H2O → ThOF2 + 2 HF
- Reaction of thorium tetrafluoride with thorium dioxide at 600 °C:
- ThF4 + ThO2 → 2 ThOF2
