Gold hexafluoride

Gold hexafluoride is a hypothetical binary inorganic chemical compound of gold and fluorine with the chemical formula AuF6. As of 2023, it is still a hypothetical compound that has never been prepared or observed. In 1999, Neil Bartlett stated, "It should exist, if made at low temperature and kept cold."

Potential properties
Like PtF6, AuF6 should be an extremely powerful oxidizer. The compound is calculated to be stable.
