Neptunium(IV) fluoride or neptunium tetrafluoride is a inorganic compound with the formula NpF4. It is a green salt and is isostructural with UF4.{{Greenwood&Earnshaw2nd}}

Synthesis

image:Kristallstruktur Uran(IV)-fluorid.png

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

:{{chem2|4 NpF3 + O2 + 4 HF → 4 NpF4 + 2 H2O}}

It can also be prepared by treating neptunium dioxide with HF gas:

:{{chem2|NpO2 + 4 HF → NpF4 + 2 H2O}}
