Iodyl fluoride is an inorganic compound of iodine, fluorine, and oxygen with the chemical formula IO
2
F
. It is in the form of colorless crystals. Iodyl fluoride features iodine in the oxidation state of +5. The compound was initially synthesized in 1951.[1]

Synthesis

Iodyl fluoride can be decomposed by iodosyl trifluoride heated to 110 °C (230 °F) in nitrogen. Since this reaction is reversible, the reaction requires constant removal of iodine pentafluoride.[1]

Physical properties

Iodyl fluoride forms colorless crystals of orthorhombic system.[3] Reacts with water.[4]

Chemical properties

Iodyl fluoride is stable in dry air, but slowly hydrolyzes to iodic and hydrofluoric acids in moisture.[1]
