Encyclopedia
Rhodium fluoride is an inorganic compound
with the chemical formula
RhF6. It's the most unstable hexafluoride of the platinum group
and it can react with glass even without water. The fluoride can be synthesised with the reaction of metallic rhodium
(or other rhodium fluorides) and fluroine.
Inorganic compound
