oxygenfluorine
Oxygenfluorine is a term that can refer to several chemical compounds containing both oxygen and fluorine. The most common and well-studied of these are the oxygen fluorides. Oxygen difluoride (OF2) is a pale yellow gas with a pungent odor. It is a highly reactive oxidizing agent and is toxic. OF2 can be synthesized by reacting oxygen with fluorine under specific conditions, often involving a diluent gas and careful temperature control to prevent explosive reactions. Its structure is bent, similar to water, with oxygen as the central atom bonded to two fluorine atoms. Despite its reactivity, OF2 has found limited applications in specialized areas, such as a fluorinating agent in organic synthesis and as an oxidizer in some rocket propellant formulations, though its hazards restrict widespread use.
Other less common oxygen fluorides exist, such as dioxygen difluoride (O2F2), which is unstable and decomposes
