Neptunium(III) fluoride or neptunium trifluoride is a salt of neptunium and fluorine with the formula NpF3.

Synthesis

[edit]

Neptunium(III) fluoride can be prepared by reacting neptunium dioxide with a gas mixture of hydrogen and hydrogen fluoride at 500 °C:[1]

2 NpO2 + H2 + 6 HF → 2 NpF3 + 4 H2O
