Iron tetrafluoride is a binary inorganic compound with a chemical formula of FeF4.[1]
History[edit]
Iron tetrafluoride was initially observed in 2003 via mass spectrometry and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy.[2]
Preparation[edit]
Iron tetrafluoride can be prepared by reaction of iron atoms with elemental F2 in excess neon and argon at 4 K:[2][3]
- Fe + 2F2 → FeF4
Physical properties[edit]
Iron tetrafluoride is assumed to have tetrahedral or square planar structure.[2] It has been calculated to be stable in the gas phase.[4]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
