It reacts violently with water, releasing oxygen. It dissolves in anhydrous hydrogen fluoride to produce a light-red solution. Potassium hexafluoronickelate(IV) decomposes at 350 °C, forming potassium hexafluoronickelate(III), nickel(II) fluoride, and fluorine:[2]

Chemical structure of solid K2NiF6 as determined by X-ray crystallography.

Potassium hexafluoronickelate is a strong oxidant. It can turn chlorine pentafluoride and bromine pentafluoride into ClF+
6 and BrF+
6, respectively:[3]

( X = Cl or Br , -60 °C , aHF = anhydrous hydrogen fluoride).

Potassium hexafluoronickelate decomposes at high temperatures to release fluorine gas; like terbium(IV) fluoride, the emitted fluorine is primarily monatomic rather than the typical diatomic.[4]

It adopts the structure seen for K2PtCl6 and Mg2FeH6.[5]
