Hypofluorous acid, HOF, is an unstable compound arising from the reaction of gaseous fluorine with water. It was first isolated in weighable quantities in 1971.[4] Despite the name, formed by analogy with other halogen compounds of similar formula,[Note 1] HOF is not significantly acidic, and hypofluorite salts are unknown.

A solution of hypofluorous acid in acetonitrile is significanly more stable that the pure compound, due to the formation of a hydrogen-bonded adduct, MeCN·HOF.[5][6][7] This species is sometimes called Rozen's reagent, and is a strong oxidizing agent through oxygen transfer: it is particularly useful for epoxidation reactions.

Preparation

Reported preparations of hypofluorous acid in the 1930s[8][9] are now considered erroneous.[4] The first clear observation of HOF was through the infrared spectrum of a matrix isolation sample, obtained by photolysis of a mixture of fluorine and water in a nitrogen matrix at 14–20 K.[10]
