Hexaoxygen difluoride is a binary inorganic compound of fluorine and oxygen with the chemical formula O
6
F
2
.[1][2] The compound is one of many known oxygen fluorides.[3]

Synthesis

The compound can be prepared by electric discharges through the F
2
O
2
mixture of the certain molar ratio at 60 to 77 K. The ratio is predicted to be 6:2.[4]

Physical properties

Hexaoxygen difluoride is an oxidizing agent. At 60 K, the compound looks like a dark-brown crystalline solid. If slowly warmed, it decomposes to lower oxygen fluorides and ozone. If quickly warmed to 90 K, it explodes, creating O
2
and F
