Americium hexafluoride is a hypothetical inorganic chemical compound of americium and fluorine with the chemical formula AmF
6
. Synthesis by fluorination of americium tetrafluoride was unsuccessfully attempted in 1990. A thermochromatographic identification in 1986 remains inconclusive. Calculations suggest that it may be distorted from octahedral symmetry.
