The NpF/sub 6/ was prepared in a rather unique fluorination reactor. The unique feature of this fiuorination reactor is the use of liquid fiuorine which drips from the liquid nitrogen cooled condenser onto the heated charge (NpF/ sub 4/ of PuF/sub 4/). This results in a high concentration of F/sub 2/ in the hot zone and sets up violent convection currents which sweep the volatile hexafluoride from the reaction zone to the condenser. The physical properties, irfrared spectrum, magnetic susceptibility, and chemical properties are reported for the prepared NpF/sub 6/. A comparison with PuF/sub 6/ is also reported. (W.L.H.)
