Caesium hexafluorocuprate is the inorganic compound with the chemical formula Cs
2CuF
6. It is a red solid that degrades upon contact with water. It was first prepared be heating CsCuCl
3 and caesium fluoride at 410°C under 350 atmospheres of fluorine:[2]

2 CsCuCl3 + 2 CsF + 5 F2 → 2 Cs2CuF6 + 3 Cl2

The anion [CuF6]2- is a rare example of a copper(IV) complex. In terms of its electronic structure, the anion has a low-spin d7 configuration. It is thus susceptible to Jahn-Teller distortion.[3]
