Also, a reaction of peroxydisulfuryl difluoride with fluorine.[2]

Physical characteristics

The compound is a strong oxidizing agent that is also potentially explosive.[3]

At 200 °C the compound decomposes without explosion.[4]

Chemical properties

The compound reacts with bases to form the fluorosulfonate anion, the fluoride ion, water, and oxygen:[5]
