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

O2F2 → F + O2F
F + F → F2
F2 → 2F
F + O2 → O2F

Physical properties

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