Molybdenum tetrafluoride (MoF₄) is a metal fluoride compound belonging to the transition metal halide family, characterized by molybdenum in the +4 oxidation state bonded to fluorine. While primarily of research interest rather than established commercial production, MoF₄ and related molybdenum fluorides are investigated for their potential in fluorine-based chemistry, catalysis, and as precursors for molybdenum-containing ceramics and coatings. Interest in this compound stems from molybdenum's versatility in high-performance applications and fluorine's role in stabilizing unusual coordination environments and enhancing chemical reactivity.
