Chemical compound

Dioxygen monofluoride is a binary inorganic compound radical of fluorine and oxygen with the chemical formula O₂F.^[1]^[2]^[3] The compound is stable only at low temperature. This is one of many known oxygen fluorides.^[4]

Synthesis

Thermal decomposition of dioxygen difluoride:^[5]

O₂F₂ → F + O₂F

F + F → F₂

Photolysis of F₂ and O₂ dilute in argon:

F₂ → 2F

F + O₂ → O₂F

Physical properties

Dioxygen monofluoride is a strong oxidizing agent, can be prepared in the coaxial reactor.^[6]
