Potassium heptafluoroniobate

Potassium Heptafluoroniobate(V) is a compound that belongs to the group of metal fluorides. It has been shown to have an asymmetric coatings property and a high thermal stability. The coating is considered to be a potential candidate for applications in optical devices, such as lenses, filters, and mirrors. The potassium heptafluoroniobate(V) compound is easily dissolved in diluents such as water or alcohols. The coating process usually involves the use of a solution of potassium heptafluoroniobate(V) in an organic solvent (e.g., acetone), which is then heated at 100°C for 10 minutes before the solution is applied onto the desired surface with a brush. A transfer mechanism has also been proposed for this material, which could be due to its ability to form bonds with phosphate ions on the metal surface through radially coordinated fluorine atoms.
