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, HOF is not significantly acidic, and hypofluorite salts are unknown.
Preparation
Reported preparations of hypofluorous acid in the 1930s[5][6] 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.[7]
