Erbium(III) fluoride is the fluoride of erbium, a rare earth metal, with the chemical formula ErF3. It can be used to make infrared light-transmitting materials[3] and up-converting luminescent materials.[4]

Production

Erbium(III) fluoride can be produced by reacting erbium(III) nitrate and ammonium fluoride:[5]

Er(NO3)3 + 3 NH4F → 3 NH4NO3 + ErF3
