Erbium Fluoride

Product Overview
Erbium fluoride (ErF3) is a stable compound that remains stable under normal temperature and pressure conditions. It has a high melting point (1350°C) and boiling point (2200°C). The compound appears as rose-colored crystals and has a high density (7.814 g/cm³). ErF3 is insoluble in water, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, and sulfuric acid, but it can dissolve in perchloric acid. This compound is commonly used in optics, lasers, and optical communication fields. The synthesis of ErF3 can be achieved by combining hydrofluoric acid precipitation with vacuum dehydration methods to ensure high purity.
