Thiothionyl fluoride is a chemical compound of fluorine and sulfur, with the chemical formula S=SF
2
. It is an isomer of disulfur difluoride (difluorodisulfane) F–S–S–F.

Preparation

Thiothionyl fluoride can be obtained from the reaction between disulfur dichloride with potassium fluoride at about 150 °C or with mercury(II) fluoride at 20 °C.[1][2][clarification needed]

Another possible preparation is by the reaction of nitrogen trifluoride with sulfur.[1]

It also forms from disulfur difluoride when in contact with alkali metal fluorides.[3]

Properties

Thiothionyl fluoride is a colorless gas.[2] At high temperatures and pressures, it decomposes into sulfur tetrafluoride and sulfur.[2]
