Tracking categories (test):
Lithium hypofluorite is an inorganic compound of lithium, fluorine, and oxygen with the chemical formula of LiFO.[1][2][3] This is a lithium salt of hypofluorous acid.[4]
Synthesis
The salt theoretically results from the neutralization of hypofluorous acid (HOF) and lithium hydroxide (LiOH). It can be formed by the action of fluorine on lithium hydroxide:
- 6F
2 + 6LiOH → 2LiF + O
2 + 4LiOF + 6HF
Chemical properties
The compound is quite unstable, since it contains oxygen in the oxidation state of 0. It, therefore, tends to decompose to lithium fluoride and oxygen gas:
- 2LiOF → 2LiF + O
2
