Francium hydroxide is a hypothetical inorganic compound with a chemical formula FrOH. It is francium's hydroxide.

It probably can be produced by reacting francium metal with water:[1]

2Fr + 2H2O → 2FrOH + H2

This reaction might be explosive.

Francium hydroxide's alkalinity is predicted to be stronger than caesium hydroxide.[2]
