Dioxygen monofluoride

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

Synthesis

 * Thermal decomposition of dioxygen difluoride:


 * 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.
