Actinium fluoride, AcF3, is the only known binary fluoride of actinium. It has been prepared (on a 10-µg scale) by the reaction of actinium hydroxide with hydrofluoric acid, and will also precipitate out when soluble actinium salts are treated with fluoride ions.[3][4] It reacts with aqueous ammonia to give the oxofluoride.[3][4]

Notes and references

Notes

  1. The molar mass is based on actinium-227 (t½ = 21.772(3) a; Ar = 227.027 7521(26)),[2] the most commonly encountered isotope of actinium.
