Niobium(IV) fluoride is a chemical compound with the formula NbF4; it is a nonvolatile black solid. It absorbs vapor strongly. It turns into NbO2F in moist air. NbF4 reacts with water to form a brown solution and a brown precipitate whose components are unknown. It is stable between 275°C and 325°C when heated in a vacuum. However, it disproportionates at 350°C rapidly to form niobium(V) fluoride and niobium(III) fluoride:

{\mathrm  {\ 2NbF_{4}\rightarrow NbF_{5}+NbF_{3}}}(at 350°C)[1]
