Ammonium hexafluorovanadate is an inorganic chemical compound with the chemical formula (NH4)3VF6.

Synthesis

Ammonium hexafluorovanadate can be prepared the solid state reaction of vanadium trioxide and ammonium bifluoride.[1][2] Another method involves the solid state reaction of vanadium(III) fluoride with ammonium fluoride.[3]

Reactions

The compound decomposes to vanadium pentoxide if heated in open air:[1]

4(NH4)3VF6 + 11O2 → 2V2O5 + 6N2 + 12H2O + 24HF

An ammonium hexafluorovanadate(V) with the formula NH4VF6 has been reported.[4]
