Lutetium(III) fluoride is an inorganic compound with a chemical formula LuF3.

Production

Lutetium(III) fluoride can be produced by reacting lutetium oxide with hydrogen fluoride, or reacting lutetium chloride and hydrofluoric acid:[3]

It can also be produced by reacting lutetium sulfide and hydrofluoric acid:[4]

3 Lu2S3+ 20 HF + (2 + 2x) H2O → 2 (H3O)Lu3F10·xH2O↓ + 9 H2S↑ (x = 0.9)

Lutetium oxide and nitrogen trifluoride react at 240 °C to produce LuOF. A second step happens below 460 °C to produce LuF3.[5]
