Technetium hexafluoride or technetium(VI) fluoride (TcF6) is a yellow inorganic compound with a low melting point. It was first identified in 1961. In this compound technetium has an oxidation state of +6 the highest oxidation state found in the technetium halides. The other such compound is technetium(VI) chloride TcCl6. In this respect technetium differs from rhenium which forms a heptafluoride ReF7.
