Chromium(III) fluoride is the name for the inorganic compounds with the formula CrF3 as well as several related hydrates. The compound CrF3 is a green crystalline solid that is insoluble in common solvents but the coloured hydrates [Cr(H2O)6]F3 and [Cr(H2O)6]F3·3H2O are soluble in water. The trihydrate is green and the hexahydrate is violet. The anhydrous form sublimes at 1100–1200 °C. Like almost all compounds of chromium(III) these compounds feature octahedral Cr centres.
