Neptunium(V) fluoride
Neptunium fluoride or neptunium pentafluoride is a chemical compound of neptunium and fluorine with the formula NpF5.Synthesis
Neptunium fluoride can be prepared by reacting neptunium fluoride with iodine:Properties
Neptunium fluoride thermally decomposes at 318 °C to produce neptunium fluoride and neptunium fluoride. Contrary to uranium fluoride, neptunium fluoride does not react with boron trichloride, but it reacts with lithium fluoride in anhydrous HF to produce LiNpF6.
