Potassium hexafluorotitanate is an inorganic compound of potassium, fluorine, and titanium with the chemical formula K
2
TiF
6
.[2][3]

Synthesis

Hydrofluoric acid reacts with metatitanic acid to generate fluorotitanic acid; then it is neutralized with potassium hydroxide to produce potassium hexafluorotitanate.

Physical properties

The compound forms white powder.[4] Potassium hexafluorotitanate is soluble in hot water, slightly soluble in cold water, and inorganic acid. Insoluble in ammonia.[5]

Chemical properties

Reacts with sodium to form titanium, potassium monofluoride and sodium monofluoride:[6][7]
