Polonium hexafluoride
Polonium hexafluoride (PoF) is a possible chemical compound of polonium and fluorine and one of the seventeen known binary hexafluorides. Synthesis. The synthesis of PoF via the reaction was attempted in 1945, but the attempt was unsuccessful. The boiling point was predicted to be about −40 °C. PoF was probably successfully synthesised via the same reaction in 1960 with the more stable isotope Po, where a volatile polonium fluoride was produced, but it was not fully characterized before it underwent radiolysis and decomposed to polonium tetrafluoride.
