Oxygen fluorides are compounds of elements oxygen and fluorine with the general formula OnF2, where n = 1 to 6. Many different oxygen fluorides are known:
- Oxygen monofluoride (OF)
- Oxygen difluoride (OF2)
- Dioxygen difluoride (O2F2)
- Trioxygen difluoride or ozone difluoride (O3F2)[1][2]
- Tetraoxygen difluoride (O4F2)[3]
- Pentaoxygen difluoride (O5F2)
- Hexaoxygen difluoride (O6F2)[4]
- Dioxygen monofluoride or fluoroperoxyl (O2F)
Oxygen fluorides are strong oxidizing agents with high energy and can release their energy either instantaneously or at a controlled rate. Thus, these compounds attracted much attention as potential fuels in jet propulsion systems.[5]
