Titanium(IV) fluoride is the inorganic compound with the formula TiF₄. It is a white hygroscopic solid. In contrast to the other halides of titanium, it adopts a polymeric structure consisting of octahedral Ti centres.

Preparation

The traditional method involves treatment of titanium tetrachloride with excess hydrogen fluoride, and purification by sublimation:

TiCl₄ + 4 HF → TiF₄ + 4 HCl
