New hexafluoroniobates IV, VNbF6 and the high-temperature form of CrNbF6 have been synthesized by solid-state reaction. The former is isostructural with rhombohedral LiSbF6, space group R3¯, and the latter crystallizes with tetragonal symmetry, space group I/4mmm. Unit-cell parameters were determined: a=5.520(1) Å, c=13.987(5) Å, V=369.0(1) Å3, Z=3 for VNbF6, and a=5.5403(5) Å, c=8.453(1) Å, V=259.5(1) Å3, Z=2 for the “HT” form of CrNbF6. Powder diffraction data are reported.
