Polonium hexafluoride
Polonium hexafluoride is a possible chemical compound of polonium and fluorine and one of the seventeen known binary hexafluorides.
Synthesis
The synthesis of via the reactionwas attempted in 1945, but the attempt was unsuccessful. The boiling point was predicted to be about −40 °C.
was probably successfully synthesised via the same reaction in 1960 with the more stable isotope, where a volatile polonium fluoride was produced, but it was not fully characterized before it underwent radiolysis and decomposed to polonium tetrafluoride.
