Fluorine azide or triazadienyl fluoride is a yellow green gas composed of nitrogen and fluorine with formula FN₃.^[1] Its properties resemble those of ClN₃, BrN₃, and IN₃.^[2] The bond between the fluorine atom and the nitrogen is very weak, leading to this substance being very unstable and prone to explosion.^[3] Calculations show the F–N–N angle to be around 102° with a straight line of 3 nitrogen atoms.^[4]

The gas boils at –30° and melts at –139 °C.^[5]

It was first made by John F. Haller in 1942.^[6]
