Oxygen difluoride, OF2, sometimes known as difluorine monoxide,[note 1] is the most stable of the binary compounds of oxygen and fluorine.[1][7] It was discovered as a byproduct of fluorine production using Moissan cells (electrolysis of HF/KF) due to small amounts of water in the electrolyte.[8] A more satisfactory method of preparation is the reaction of fluorine with 2% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution followed by fractional distillation of the gas produced.[9][10][11]

Structure

Oxygen difluoride has a bent C2v structure as expected by VSEPR theory. The oxygen–fluorine bond length is 140.5 pm and the bond angle at oxygen is 103°, consistent with single bonding and sp3 hybridization at oxygen.[1][7]

Notes

  1. Fluorine is more electronegative than oxygen, both on the normal numerical scales[5] and on the conventional series used in inorganic nomenclature,[6] so OF2 is usually considered a fluoride of oxygen and not an oxide of fluorine. However, other X2O compounds (X = Cl, Br) are considered to be halogen oxides, and so F2O is sometimes considered to be a member of this series, despite its somewhat different chemistry.[7]
