Beryllium trifluoride (CAT: M085182) is an inorganic compound composed of beryllium and fluorine, typically forming a white, hygroscopic solid. It is primarily used in specialized industrial and research applications, particularly in the nuclear industry as a component in molten salt reactor fuels and coolants due to its high thermal stability and low neutron absorption cross-section. In chemical synthesis, beryllium trifluoride acts as a strong Lewis acid and fluorinating agent. Its unique structural and electronic properties make it valuable for materials science studies.
