Vanadium tetrafluoride (VF4) is an inorganic compound characterized by its dark brown to black solid form. It consists of vanadium in a +4 oxidation state and is coordinated with four fluoride ions. This compound is notable for its high reactivity, particularly with water and moisture, leading to the formation of vanadium oxides and hydrofluoric acid. VF4 is typically synthesized through the direct reaction of vanadium metal with fluorine gas at elevated temperatures. It exhibits a tetrahedral molecular geometry, which is common for compounds with a central atom bonded to four surrounding atoms. Vanadium tetrafluoride is primarily used in the production of vanadium metal and as a precursor for other vanadium compounds. Due to its reactivity, it must be handled with care, as it can pose health risks upon exposure. Additionally, it is important to store VF4 in a dry, inert atmosphere to prevent decomposition and ensure safety in laboratory and industrial settings.
